As I have mentioned before, I have been looking for wheels that are aggressive and complement the lines of the car. Well, I think I have found what I am looking for in the OZ Racing Antares. I am thinking about getting 17" (but might consider 18"). I might also get them chrome plated. What do you guys think?

 

well those are pretty, and would be "BLING BLING" in chrome.
I personally would go with less angles and just basic 5 spoke. Those are a bit much. Wheels should accentuate the car, not draw away from the looks of the car. I guess I'm just a traditionalist when it comes to wheels. Either a square 5 spoke...

oor a super mesh like BBS style.

 

i like them. i dont know how they would look on our cars tho

 

go on tirerack.com, i was lookign at those wheels but decided not to get them..they also have them chroem plated on that site, and you can see how they look on the car...but i beleive there liek $300 a piece? kinda alot for those rims..

 

I was gonna ask what the price was.

 

I thought so too.

 

For 18", it would be around $429/rim.

 

Personally, I like the straight 5 spokes that are on Stu's car. They are actually a second choice.

Sometimes, I like to deviate from the norm when it comes to wheels. I like to make a more bold and aggressive statement.

They look too much like excuses to stick chrome on them so they'll flash when you're rolling... that's not a bad thing if that's what you're going for. I've always been a fan of simple 5-spoke wheels though, Borbet Type E's, things like that.

 

i would get them painted gunmetal grey i think they would look helluva tight on our car...

 

I like the idea of gunmetal gray but since my car is Charcoal, I think either the current silver they are in or chrome would be more complementary to the color of my car (Charcoal Pearl).

 

Well, bro.... I'd think that the chrome would accentuate the rims a lot. I'm not a big believer in 5-spoke rims, just because you ALWAYS see 5 spokes, in whatever their incarnation (split 5, twisted, angular, etc...). I definitely agree on making a bold and agressive statement, though.

I remember one time, where it was sooo hard for FWD cars to get decent aftermarket wheels, aside from 5 spokes. Now, it seems like we have a varied market out there, and everyone is still on the 'old school' kick. Well, at least they aren't 'hammers'!!

But then again, who am I to talk? I still have my stock SE rims.....

 

hey i was wondering where you host your sig pic? we all know that photopoint sucks and we cant use it for free anymore..but i gotta find a new host for my pics

 

Try this on for size. I just saw a black 4th Gen with the new style Cragar S/S rims.
