ok complete newbie when it comes to rims. I've only ever had stock wheels before. But I've been wanting to put some on my '08.

what do you guys think of these?.... and what about this brand... Petrol?

 

Sorry - not feeling it . I would look aroung some more.

 

Don't know about the brand, but I kinda sorta like them because they look subtle, flashy and VIP all at the same time

 

the immitation bolts head are going to be a pain in the @$$ to clean and detail but i dont think they look bad keep looking though

have you thought about painted or different finishes?

tirerack.com is a great tool to help you see what it will look like with the wheels on your car discountire.com too

 

Heads up: The bigger the lip the smaller the wheel will look.

 

petrol= mucho dinero if your lookin for rims like that check out tork wheels quality bang for buck

 

Not sure about the brand but I love the wheels. I thought about putting those on my car. Saw them on egay.

 

Not bad looking rims man.What size were you looking to get?

 

Yeah, I'm still going to look around. Those just caught my eye last night.

not sure about size yet. my initial thought was to just go the same size as I have now. But I'd be open to going an inch or 2 bigger.

ok another newbie question =)...

my tires are basically brand new. So if I went w/ the same size wheel... and found rims the same size as my stock wheels... they could just be swapped out, right?... using the same tires?

 

yeah, tirerack will be a huge help visualizing this. thanks.

 

Not a bad looking rim. Three things to keep in mind however.

1.) How heavy are the rims (heavy rims will slow your car down and lower your MPG significantly.

2.) Chrome is a b-tch to maintain (espacially in salt states/next to impossible/will get destroyed in no time)

3.) They show the most generous lip there is for that wheel. Your size and offset might have much smaller lip. Have somebody take picture of the exact size rim you're looking for. 99% of cases you will be more than dissapointed.

 

quick photoshop of that rim on my car...

 

Looks similar to 19" Nismo rims....someone should just buy this dudes 19" Nismo's:

not feeling the rims at all.
and get 19''+
personnally i think 20s really fill out the 6gen well...

 

I like them, nice looking wheel, and they are very similar to the nismo wheels

 

BTW. You cannot go wrong with NISMOs

 

Petrol?

 

If you like them, get them...

 

Not really feelin them that much. They remind me of the stock 04 rims... just slightly smaller spoke... Look around man, there are tons of nice ones out there. Unless you really do like this one. Go to buywheelstoday.com so you can get a really good idea of what's out there.

 

They look nice with a drop youll be straight

 

Looked them up and saw this wheel from them as well...hmmm. $360 ea.

 

i think this one look a lot better!

 

Waayyy better looking.....

 

petrol is tsw's high end line. judging by the website this venture was a failure since almost all the multi-piece wheels have been discontinued.

something cool about these is they have a stainless steel lip insert.

 

so I've been a looking at a bunch of sites this whole week.

and I don't really know what the hell I want. lol. too many options.

 

I like the first wheels. It looks like a machined face with a chrome lip. From what I hear TSW is a quality wheel, if Petrol is the upline, all the better.

Here's some wisdom +1 on all three points
2.) If you have a set of winter wheels then you should be fine because chrome is easy to take care of in the summer.
4.) The Nismos are a great alternative, ligthweight and look good.

 

Not sure what other peoples thoughts are, but these are the ones i want when i feel like dropping ~3k on some shoes

 

Sorry dude, but the only word i can think of is "EWWWW"!

 

noooooo way, I have a black on black so i would imagine it would look similar to this, obviously we dont drive a bently but...
