Alloys Choice Trying to choose some new Rims - Advice?

Harlequin · 8th June 2009, 14:38

Hey!

I'm looking to get myself some new wheels and this is the shortlist at the moment:

These are all Rims from AMG Australia..

Firstly, Antera 369 18" in Bright Silver (£511/corner):
Antera Type 369 18" (33).jpg

Second, there are 3 models of the BBS CK 18" - Anthracite, Ball Polished, and Brilliant Silver (£505/corner except the Ball Polished which are £616/corner):
BBS CK Anthracite 18" (20).jpg BBS CK Ball Polished 18" (45).jpg BBS CK Brilliant Silver 18" (20).jpg

Lastly, the Kahn RSV Titanium 19" (£466/corner):

None of the prices include rubber...

Would really appreciate some input from you guys... I'm looking for something that stands out without being too Chavtastic

Currently I'm leaning toward the Anteras...

the BBS middle one looks excellent...my mate in the ST has the Khan alloys at the bottom...they look well but it doesnt look anything special to be honest...

nice choice by the way

Harlequin · 8th June 2009, 15:14

Yeah, I'm liking the BBS in the Ball Polished as well... I didn't say anything because I was hoping someone would talk me out of them - they are the most expensive - by quite a bit

Thanks for that Fat4y - you're not making my wallet any happier

fat4y · 8th June 2009, 15:16

yes they are expensive but they are quality alloys...

try some of the TSW alloys...they make good ones...

oh revolution in newcatle UK can do 0% financing deals for you so you would pay them monthly...hope that will help you

Got to say the BBS look nice - last one - like the painted inner and polished outer rim.

Koen · 11th June 2009, 13:49

Since it's for a civic: take the ones that are easiest to clean.

No really, I like the Kahn RSV Titanium 19" the most. The inner cap should have a Honde-logo though.
That's only my opinion. BBS are nice, but over the top for the Civic-design. And a bit out-of-date I think.

fat4y · 11th June 2009, 14:06

no that OZ isnt nice..my mate has it in his astra white aswell i hate it..doesnt look right at all lol

TypeRiter · 11th June 2009, 14:23

Go Jap, on a Jap car

Unless you're not really a JDM'er

Rays Volk range CE28's are crazy... I've seen a Civic on this forum I think with them on.. I would h ave no hesitation in going for the same look.. If I could fund 'em for my NHB.. Will wait..

Always Rages if they're available in Oz.

I'll see if I can find a pic.

More Pix.. sick!

Really? I was thinking that they look a bit too similar to the 18s I've got now - kinda defeats the purpose of upgrading...

Do you not like the white? or is it specifically the Oz rims? I've seen a few with white wheels on here and quite like them...

They look nice but I'm not a fan of Black wheels... still leaning towards the Anteras at this point... They are bling - but not too bling - and they have very clean lines...

They come in other shades/colours, if you can call it that

I was talking from a style point of view.. not colour

Not sure about the white, with Milano Red.

illegalhunter · 12th June 2009, 19:58

I like the Kahns

Milano.J · 12th June 2009, 20:31

put want you want on at the end of the day its up to you the bss wheels are the same as the 30th annieversary GOLF GTI and look duff no matter what size?all in all after market wheels deter from the ctrs atttraction

Sctrpop · 19th June 2009, 09:44

here are the ones that i had put on my 2.2 Type S on Wednesday. just the rims cost me 500 Euro installed. mine is royal ble pearl and look awesome. i am not too much of a fan of chrome as you want people to look at the whole car, not just the rims.

Harlequin · 19th June 2009, 09:56

I'm thinking about trying to see if I can get the White Rages in Australia... I really liked the look of the white shoes on Stella's car...

...and if I can get the white Rages then they are still OEM rims

Just have to see if it's financially feasible to get them over here...
