Default AU Mags

Well iv been looking around for some new mags and want to get some black ones. The typhoon ones are out as they are near impossible to get, I also have 19" now but 'might' go to 20". Can ayone recommend any black rims that would fit an AU ? Ones iv found so far that look good are:

How much do would you think I could sell my current rims for? They are 19" Roh furys in shadow chrome and falkeen azenis tyres done about 3000km. current rims > http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/au2/ff87.jpg

When searching tempe I found the rims that 'toast'? Guy has one his car everyone likes are on sale http://www.tempetyres.com.au/product...t=&part_no=774

i have 20s on my lane..
bluprnt xr8 has 20s on his ute
a few others have them too just cant remember who

you just need to be careful with tyre selection on the front as it needs to clear the upper ball joint:(

I had these priced up the other day. They fit AU's, are available in 19 and 20. The price I got for 19's was $490 a rim, no tyres!!! They look really good in real life though.

Those are some nice wheels but the price tag is bit of a killer.

Think ill go these;


Is there much market out there for secondhand wheels? Im wondering how easy it would be to offload the furys

it all depends on the price you place on the old rims..

lower price = faster they will move

kaotics = soooooo common.. i would look harder. I wouldn't go the rims that 70AST has, your car is too similar to his and it'd sorta take away from its originality.

In my opinion, lower it on the furys! It'll look a billion times better than what it looks like now trust me.

I think you are nuts.

I personally think the rims you have on it now look great.

Lowering would definately make it look a treat.

Of course he is, but in a good way; that's why he's on AFF!

Fury's are a bit common, but still nice. The black Kaotics would look good, but given that the turbo is going to eat tyres, IMO you are better off (financially) sticking with 19s, or even going back to 18s.
