what about these Lenso CFs in silver or hyper silver.
they are very nice them alloys. i am looking for a nice set of alloys for my car too. does hyper silver mean that they are the really shiney ones???? i would like a nice set of shiney alloys so they stand out and i think they look really smart too.
i think the hyper silver is like shadow chrome and does look good the aerospeeds on my car are in gun metal and they r quite shiney
cheerz for explainin that for me. i had a little bit of a blonde moment lol. i like the alloys that look like a shadowy chrome. they do look very nice. but id prefer the really shiney ones for my car.
go 4 real chrome then for the summer but ill worn u for the winter change ur wheels to normal wheels, cause a mate of mine had a set on his civic 4 a year which cost £2100 for 19s and in the winter they started to get rust spots on because of the salt on the road. he took them bak 2 get told they r only 4 summer use and never got his money bak.how about these [Linked Image]

thanks for the very helpful advice m8y. i didnt think of that. your poor m8 i bet he was gutted about his wheels getting wrecked. the people in the shop coulda been a bit more sympathetic about the whole matter.
them wheels are very nice. they are quite a good price too for what they are.
what do you think of spinning alloys? i saw some hub caps at kroozin live that you could attatch to your alloys to make them look like they were spinners. they looked like metal but when i touched them they were only plastic.thats the cheaper option but i think the propper spinners look much much better.
the paint on the plastic will probably scratch off so propper spinners would be better, real spinners like the gangsta(snoop dogg style) will set u bak a fair bit though about £5000. i myself dont like them much but they are growin on me bit by bit. <img border="0" alt="[does this help]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions041.gif" />
my m8s bak to the type r wheels 4 now and he was gutted but hes lookin 4 new ones now.

i think u can get them a bit cheaper for the cheaper makes shop around

dj - are the asia-tec wheels real chrome, i was sayin before i fancied some for my car! not sure i like the idea of these problems.

Scoobys b***ch- have you checked out the 'Lenso Spin 2 Rims' they're not as pricey as the others (starting from £325 - 18"), an thet're not chrome, but they've had great reviews in lots of mags, an i reckon they look the dogs, dead fresh. see if dj -russel can get a pic up, he seems a bit more computer literate than me!

I have to say, I hate chrome wheels, and I hate spinning dubs.

The point of alloy wheels is they're light, and very strong. Dubs make wheels very very heavy, plus they're just one more thing to go wrong. They are very gangster, that's true,- But I don't think I'll see Dre and Snoop to the D-O-Double G dipping through Compton, Longbeach, or Inglewood in a Saxo or Corsa on 20-inch chrome dubs. They just don't suit hot hatches, big yank cars or jeeps fair enough...

I think those Lensos would suit your car, OZ SuperTs or OZ Titans.

As for your car Scooby's *****, seen some Astras, same shape as yours with SuperT type wheels, but in dark gun metal colour. They looked so good because the astra was in yellow, so maybe go for the normal silver style ones...do a mock up in photoshop to see which it suits best though smile
