I dont know if this is the right section I should be posting this, or even if its worth posting a brand new thread on it unless theres already another thread to do with this? Anyways, 3 weeks till uni finishes, time to save up to dress up the VL; basically I need advice on the following and possibly even suggestions? 18'' international copies? do they suit the car? or would vy ss rims be a better choice? the car colour isnt common so its hard to compare with other car's. let me know fellas, and to the mods, sorry if this is not in the right section. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ROH makes the rims for HSV and they often produce a similar looking rim to market under the ROH brand. I personally think they look crap

gotta agree with NZ here, the wheels look cheap and tacky, maybe because the spokes angle and twist instead of staying flat.
