    good luck getting E (ie 19" snowflakes) Click here to enlarge

    you have chosen different style wheels which will give off a totally different look... what look are you going for?? Euro style, race style, OEM??
    ex. ~2.5L V6 Vectra~
    ex. ~matte black '07 Honda VTR 250~
    current ~phantom black '11 Triumph Street Triple R~

    Just be careful as the VXR 'look' (C) or the snowflakes (E) I think will be 19's. So if you're looking to lower as well, the ride will be pretty hard

    If it was me, i'd be looking at either E or the current shadow/darker VXR rims

    Are those snowflakes the rims that were optional on the AH SRi-T? Or different ones?

    It's difficult to judge properly or accurately unless you put some of those 'unfamiliar' styles up against the car...that's what you should do before making a final decision Click here to enlarge

    The familiar styles there however you would already have a good idea of what they look like on an AH...

    My pick would be any of them other than 'D' - that's my least favourite from that bunch...

    If your going to go to 19" then adopt the same rubber as used on the factory VXR 19's - that should cure any 'rough ride' issues !

    If 'need be' the speedometer can be adjusted accordingly...

    Im not sure I want 19's if im going to lower it eventually...I want some ride comfort to be maintained. Im going to drive on the stockies for a while in anycase.


    your right also...will have to do a bit of photoshop and spend a couple of days looking at them to make sure.
