"Hugh's rims" are TAK Legends. A bloke I know sold a set of these in 18" for about 2 grand not that long ago. My preference is the FR's, polished ones would really set it off!! But for the sensibly priced option the VY SS's look great, always seem to on the red/silver Calais.

yeah personally i'd go FR18 or 19's polished but mate this is a decision that you have to make as they have to suit your tastes, not ours. Get something you are happy with

VZ CV8 WHEELS FOR SURE!!! it looks mint and theres none around ive seen with them... be original, even though fr's are awsome wheels, originality is they key to a really nice car... just my 2 cents....

I like option number 2, I think its the VY GTS rims?? The ones under the VX GTS ones. I'll be buyin a dunnydore in the next 12 months, and these will be the first thing on my shopping list, tough, and graceful at the same time. While I like simmons, they have been done to death, and just becuase they now come in a 19, they still look the same, just slighty bigger. But, on a budget the 18's in the last pic would be nice. And DIFFERENT!!! 6BOOST Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
