Title: which Wheels?
Post by: spetzdude on 16 October 2009, 12:57

Hey guys, and girls.


I chose to do the power route 1st to my car, but now want to get some alloys.
im a bit picky with them, and its hard when im in a budget of around £800

been looking at a few on rim style.

Really depends what sort of style your after really lol! Just don't make the mistake of buying somthing cheap looking. Best bet is to read through some mags, read some peoples build threads and just get an idea of what you like. Try http://www.wheel-whores.com/forum/ especially the classifieds. IMO, Mk4's look really good on some dish, but monoblock wheels are where it's at..... Nothing better than an oem looking set of wheels. Could try somthing from a pheaton.

Title: Re: which Wheels?
Post by: rabthejoker on 16 October 2009, 15:48

My preference would probably be link 2, probably because they are almost identical to the set i have been looking at. but your decision not mine lol  :smiley:

i had ssw wheels on my civic, they didn't wear very well, one winter ruined the polished lip so max sure you wax it loads and clean every couple of days if you want them to last

I'd do some pretty rank things for those phaeton wheels   :drool:

Title: Re: which Wheels?
Post by: hasekna on 16 October 2009, 23:40

Lol yea the phaeton wheels are gorgeous. There called Helios if anyone wants to know lol, and they're 19's. Theres also a wheel they do called Aristoteles that kinda looks like a bentley rim if ya squint a bit lol.

Title: Re: which Wheels?
Post by: spetzdude on 17 October 2009, 13:51

I do like those 2, very diffrent!

Well i hade a call from rimstyle today saying there out of stock of the mesh 2's and wont be getting anymore in, so i desided to go for the Dotz magullo, which saved me £80 in the end.
and the more i look at them the more i like them!

so should be with me tueseday, and then a few days after slaming it down 40-50mm will get some pics up when its done.
