Hmm.. a new rim has caught my eye.

They're not high up on my to do list.. but I'm seriously considering them. I think they're stylish, without being OTT.

What you all think of them?

Or maybe these?

the first ones are also "ultra light" apparently.

Probs get them in 18".

The car will be restyled.. but I'm not sure if it'll be aggressive.
The ZR is an aggressive car, anyways, hehe.

The 2nd choice, I guess, is influenced because.. hey.. I'm on the continent. Deep dish rims are quiet popular over here.

I think you could describe the rims as

1) Racing
2) Cruising

I'll still see if I can source up a pic of the others.. otherwise I'll scan 'em. (got pic in a book)

yeah... I've looked closely at the book, the rims I want are on.. and they're Oxigin's.. but they're not on the Oxigin webby.. pff.

It's kinda.. 5 spokes.. with another 5 spokes overlayed and offset. Hard to descripe.. but me likes.

It'll be more of a decision between these and 18" versions of those black ones, posted above.

neither, the first wheels really should go on a jap racing car like a skyline or impreza, evo etc. you said there lightweight, thats what they are designed for, for racing.

2nd don't really like, i like some deep dish styles but that one aint for me.

Yes..... :confused:

hehe, all "performance" mods I'd do to the car.. would be just that.. looks would be second. This is why I wouldn't go bigger than 17".. also why I'm gonna be saving for the XPower stuff.. also 'cause if something then goes wrong.. hey.. it's certified MG-R stuff.. :p

But I'll get a piccy of the Oxigins up.. if they EVER update their site.. *sigh*
