I'm 50/50 on the rims... then again, I'm a lover of all things chrome! :P

how about the 5 "multispoke" astra SRi rims, powdercoated gunmetal black! That would look hawwwwwwt!

NO to painting small astra calipers red!!! YES to 4 pot red brembo's! 8)

I would paint you're calipers black!

[Mr Cali]

Don't like the mags and they are way too small. As for the calipers, black or gun metal grey

Hmm nah save up some more money and get chrome rims or at least something different. :)

I reckon the calipers in a not so stand out colour.

Black, silver, dull gold colour.

now that everyone else has said it, I can speak up...

not diggin the rims at all alex... :lol:

Rims are too small. But i love the red calipers!

[Anonymous]

rims aren't soo small... it's just that they look like bob jane specials. :lol:

a)the discs have been photochopped
b) they are brembo rotors (look up close)
c) car needs lowering

other than that, I think the rims are 17inches? It's all those things that make them look small.

i will post it with the rims i think i may be able to afford later but thanks for the honest oppinion guys :D

I know of a place in Newcastle which does 17" chrome wheel and tyre packages for $1200. Only an extra $200.

silver car suit chrome rims
and for the calipers i reckon gloss black would look cool

Bob And Toms Tyre Power. My mate was telling me, $1200 for 17" and $1400 for 18".

[Anonymous]

thanks mitch will check it out :D

[Anonymous]

ok check this out how about the new look?? keep in mind the rims on now are CHROME!!!

[Mr Cali]

much better option mate they look good.

They look at least 18s though, judging from how much tyre u have left.

My suggestion would be to look for mags that the spokes go right to the edge, it will make the mags look huge. stick with a simple 5 spoke and the looks with last alot longer.

I'd get deep dark red calipers. I like red cos they compliment the taillights. Plus i tend to avoid adding 'new' colours to the car.. like youve done with the blue.

[Mr Cali]

Here's a qik example for you, couldn't be bothered with the calipers, but both mags are the same size , which ones look bigger ;) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v254/Mrcali/Misc/astra_rims.jpg

[RK]

That looks damn nice! Nice work, Tai!

[Anonymous]

:shock: :shock: :shock: omg tai thanks for that i will look for some of them :D btw are those ones you put on exspensive??

[Mr Cali]

Unfortunately yes they are expensive, Bazo B52 IIRC. They are tripple chromed and come with life time warranty on the chroming. But you should be able to get mags that look similar to that, I was just trying to show u what would look good on ur car so u know what to look for.
