Paint them holden hsv "champagne" and piss the walls off, Simmons are a classy rim, it's not worth playing boy racer and doing walls IMO.

Quote: Ajvx01 Paint them holden hsv "champagne" not a bad idea. Well for the 17's i got a good price on them. 17x8, 2 inch lip all round, might get the rears with a 3inc, since 2 lips is a bit scuffed up. For the 18's i could just put another $800-$1000 on it and get some 19's. so all i want is polished fr20's ( not any time soon since its 5 k) Thought ill do the fr17's and get my self a THREE WAY ELECTRIC SUNROOF ---------- Post added 02-01-13 at 19:09 ---------- 5--- Gold 2--- Silver 1--- Hsv champagne Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Either Champagne or Silver I reckon. I think Champagne would be best because its not quite as common as well.

gold or silver in 18"s-19"s 17"s is just that little bit to small imho

Gold but do the whole centre piece Inc the outer edge where the bolts go thru (if u know what I mean) and leave the lip polished- makes the wheel look bigger in my opinion

go 16" gold centred B45's instead, they suit the era of the car best and no young guy wanna be racer look plus good tyres are very cheap in that size

I find it funny how he asked about what wheel colour and instead half of these posts tells him on what rim he should change too..

Go silver! ....blends in with your bars. Spend money on getting wider dish instead of a sunroof ...anyway its your car, do it way you want it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Quote: RJB-223 Spend money on getting wider dish :P arr 2 inc lip on the front is enough i guess. remember seeing your white vl exec on the Simmons. would you have a rough clue on how much it would cost for two rear 3 inc lips. also is there much difference on the stepped lip .. ? So far i think its going to be gold 9--- Gold 5--- Silver 2--- Hsv champagne
