Default New Wheels

Hi Guys, Iv found some new wheels I want but can't decide if I should get them. The story is I have 19" roh furys in shadow chrome at the moment but want to replace them with these;


I would get 19" again so I can use my tyres and sell of my old wheels without tyres. Here is a pic of my current wheels;


(don't worry car is now lowered)

Now the decisions are
1. Buy the black wheels and get rid of the furys, remove the blue stripes and replace with black
2. Powder coat my furys dark grey/black, only problem is I kind of don't want to destory them
3. Don't change at all.

What should I do?

I like the new wheels, never been a fan of the Furys as they don't look anything special.

I think I might get rid of the furys and go those then. The only thing that needs to be done to those wheels though is replace the centre caps.

Id probably go the black/white theme, id most likely put black stripes on but have seen you can also get he stripes in carbon fibre, but I think that might look a bit silly.

Anyone know of any other good black wheels, otherwise ill probably just get those

The furys are a bit common.. nice wheels though. I remember trying to talk you out of them a few months ago.. do you? LOL
I like the furys better than the ones you want to replace them with though.. no offence

I'd stick to the Fury's. Modena's are the worst rim ever made for any car. They are my number 1 hated rim :

I remember but I needed more convencing. I think the roh's look and are a good quality wheel but I wanted the black to begin with and have decided I might as well change over. I should really really be putting the turbo on before messing around with the wheels.

Iv also moved my car since then so I don't get a parking ticket in the 'no parking' zone.

Racecraft posted up a very nice wheel and importantly available 9.5" for the rear,suits the AU perfect.
Ditch the Fury's,as far I'm concerned they are a Commy wheel.
Good luck with your choice.

Duffman get the new rims and get rid of the stripe once and for all. Stripes doesn't suit the car one bit.

Stripe will come off but I wouldn't mind replacing it with a black one, you can also get them in CF now as well. Just without the stripe the car seemed so plain. Iv sold the furys off ($900) to a mate but i plan to keep the tyres. The wheels race craft have posted are nice but I think I prefer them all back rather then having a silver rim on them.

The worst thing about the stripe is if you leave it on and take it off after a while it will leave marks/lines in the paint.
