18s to 19s is a bit of a waste if you ask me...

Go for 20s and get the Incubus Paranormal. Those Avanti plates look shit.

I also reckon anything with dish on the rear would be better.

I'm a fan of the Paranormal, but a 5 spoker with dish on the VE looks SWEET!

I have those wheels on my red VYII SS as does RED R8. They are the PORN. On a silver car I'm not so sure but should work very well imo. Unfortunately I don't know how heavy they are........

there ok, but there are better rims out there.
The ssv rims look great and as your going to lower it, it will look better.
Check out some sites from the states and see if you can source them here from a tyre place.

Not sure... In 20's they're one of the only rim/tyre combos Tempe don't have a price for on their website. Give them a call.

Do you reckon they will suit the nickel colour car?

CSP
18-04-2008, 08:50 PM
DEFINITELY!!! :D

But I reckon the SS/SV6 18s you have are one of the best looking factory designs for a LONG time. And look great on a Nickel VE.

I'd actually suggest lowing 20 - 30 mm first... See if you really want to spent a couple of thousand on wheels.

personally, I wouldn't go the Advanti Medusa Rims, they look exactly the same as the Konig Unknowns, which are everywhere. id prefer to go something a little bit different, something that might even set a trend, rather then follow one. Particularly on a car like the VE.

^^^ Gmax Wheels make a 5 spoke version similiar of that above. Its called the GMAX Aspire, in a hyper black with polished lip (have a look at their website) would suit the VE on the first page quite well. particularly in a 20x10 rear.

I have decided to wait for the rims, only because i cant decide which one's i like and get the car lowered...

20" ROH Prowlers on my car. They look bigger than 20" from a distance because of no polished lip.

To make a VE look really mean you need some dish. Those medusa rims are ok but would be a pain in the ass to clean and i saw them on another car when i bought my wheels i really didnt like it.

Even wheels like the SSV or supersport might be an option and then lower spend the rest of your money on go fast bits :bow:
