Good Olde which rims question?

khajift · 05-09-2007, 04:32 PM

Hey folks,
I own a white 93 EB sedan...

I've been searching for rims, n Ive narrowed it down to 2 (as you do) and so now im looking for opinions

I'm getting 17's, and its either gonna be

Auscar Quake (all know what they look like)

I wanna get these cos i like simple look and effect they have on eb

CSA Retro

At first i didnt like these, but they've grown on me alot. that and I've never seen them before on an eb (+1 for individual look lol) I've attached a photo of these because like I said, ive never seen them before, n maybe neither you lol.

I think my real problem is, i know what quake rims look like on falcons because their common, but i havnt seen retro wheels on one so i dont know how they look. So if any of you's have seen pics of them on the internet, post me the url cos id love to see what they look like

Cheers guys

+1 for the the retros, i reckon in 18 on 19 inch though, i reckon in 17's they'd look really small.

CSA at the moment have a really bad Web site that needs to be upgraded - on the back page of the latest Australian Muscle Car magazine there are 5 new designs - and a new web page CSA Direct go and have a look - I think it's pretty dismal

And anyway being CSA how many of those new designs will be for pre AU fitment??

I agree with the other guys. The 17 inch look to small and they are a nice rim and would look even better in 19 inch

18 quakes gogo

efgiar · 06-09-2007, 06:27 PM

19's!! dont waste your time with 17's

haha

khajift · 06-09-2007, 06:40 PM

haha yes, I do like the retros, n i agree with what you guys are saying, 17's prob just the tad to small.

but im going to ask another question, wit the +6 offset for e series, what other cars have that? cos ive heard toyotas (dont know which model) and skylines have the +6 offet :S

if someone can tell that'd be great, cos id much prefer 2nd hand rims, just because 18's brand new are a bit above my price range.

Okay just looked in my mail box and what do you know a Bridgestone Tyre Center catalogue ins in there..........turned to the back pages and BINGO CSA Retro's Hyper Black

18" from $1,810

Aftermarket rims have to be big to look decent.

On an E-series you would want 18s or 19s. No smaller, no bigger.
