Ok i'm looking at buying some new rims for my aristo sometime this year
my problem is i dunno whats gonna look good
so i was wondering if some ppl could post up some pics of their rims on thier car
to give me an idea
then when i get home this arvo i'll post up a pic of the car
so ppl can have some photoshop fun
also i'm trying to keep it 18"
what colour is your car mate as it makes a big difference...
i can get away with a lot more of a sportier rim due to the colour of mine... and thing the rims such as eurolines/SSR vienna's would look mis placed on my car...

Just get the rear down and she'll be right. And if you're not on coils, then yes, it is fucked.
Oh and deknick, great height and fitment, ever considered painting your intercooler black? I reckon it could actually improve the overall look of the car, blacked out
Silver car, bronze rims, 17", as imported. Still. Sad I know.

i will never paint my intercooler black haha
and nope, i'm on coilovers, i wasn't able to drive like that, i was barely able to make it out of my street and onto my mainraods, mainly cause anything thicker than a cunthair would cause my exhaust to scrape.
that was mainly for the hell of it for some pictures.
my current ride height is about 6mm or so lower than the black and white picture with trees in the background taken from a direct side view _________________

If you have the 2 tone i dont think you can go past some euroline DH, or work XD9 in chrome. Speaking of which, maybe splash out on some RAYS grams light 57 with the titanium lip, they're the shit.
If you got a kit best to go 19"/20" from the start... I got 18" Work Equip's and they'r just too small especially now that I've gone air
Biggest problem now is that I gotta get all the rest(interiour,engine,paint) sorted out before I can get new rims(3-8K AUS$), it's pissing me of aarghh
