New wheels on the h...56k warning

[ROCCO]

Well guys & gals time has come to upgrade from the stock 15s on the H. I'm looking at going 18's.

I've narrowed it down to a couple of rims but I want to see how they would look on the car...hence i'm i'm posting here.

Can someone please do me a big favour and photoshop the rims to my car so i can make a decision...:-) i'm no good at these kinda things....thanks

These last rims are darker than this...more of a dark grey in colour

[Calibrated]

not really a fan of any but if i had to choose 1, probably the 1st one.

[xplosv57]

Ditto, no 1. but they'd look better in 19s or 20s...

[poita]

+1 +1

the first ones in 20's :D

the bigger the better

[Nurb608]

As above on all counts. If I had to choose, #1. Would keep looking around though.

[BEK-46P]

To be honest, I don't like any of them!

What you should do is find your current rims in 19s or 20s! Then drop it like it's hot!

pfff minor details, jsut driev more carefully :)

a nice set of black 19's with chrome lip would look awesome.
black on black always looks good

And where could one obtain said rims?

[ROCCO]

What about these then???

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p209/romanian_rambo/untitled.jpg

was tossing up...was thinking about going these...they come in 18s and 19s....all up including tyres and fitment they came to less thank $2k not bad price for 19s
only prob is would I need to get the speedo reconfigured??

[sooty]

If you go 235/35/19 your speedo will be so minutely out it won't matter as it already has the safety factor built into it anyway:)

[poita]

And where could one obtain said rims?

tempetyres, or ozzytyres.
they will ship anywhere.

or you could be crazy like me and buy a set of rims from the UK lol

[ROCCO]

someone want to photoshop those rims onto the car for me??/ Last one promise :-)

[Nurb608]

Not crazy, thats where i'm lookin at the moment, and the US but they are very american rims so might need to photoshop before I buy!

[ROCCO]

Somebody pls :-)

[dr600]

I have seen the last ones on a CD AH and they look hot but it is dumped!!!

Have you seen the BBOSS eleanor's?

[ROCCO]

I spoke to Motorsport Wheels and Tyres in Dandenong South today about them...apparently they only fit Falcons and Commodores...

[dr600]

Im not much help because im in Sydney but i think BBOSS do make them in the 5x110 stud pattern?? Try get a quote off the website im pretty sure they do because i got a quote for the eleanors

[dr600]

There is a pic of a opelised astra H on the last page of the holden gallery on the website!

I rate it, it looks hot!!

[ROCCO]

I've also been told the fitment for the Astra h is 5x110 can anyone confirm this?

[dr600]

Agreeed!! kinda like the stripes down the side, looks like the old hk monaro bonnet stripes... yummM!:D

Ha! They pay a lot of money to Rock-A-Fella (I think that's the label for that song in Aus), or alternatively they just use it under the table. Considering the professionalism of the site (and the fact that it's only used on one page) I'd guess the former.

I was shopping for rims before I even bought my car.

And yet, crushingly, even after you've spent $2000+ on wheels, there are still times when you look at your car and wonder "did I buy the right ones?".

[BEK-46P]

There's a black CD coupe that I see driving to work in the mornings with those exact rims, except in gun metal. I must say, they're very, very nice.

From those 3 above, definitely no.3 (last pic) for my choice on an Astra...

As said by others, the bigger the better too :)

[Keep'emRunning]

.. always hard to choose rims for a black car.. #3 looks the best out of them imo.

Be wary of 19's. if you damage a rim/tyre whilst away from the major cities, most tyre outlets will not carry them and need to courier them in.

Most people will tell you that 35 series rubber is uncomfortable for a daily driver (myself included!) so maybe 18's with 40's would be better,and still fill the wheel arch nicely.
