I was looking for some opinions on the billet wheels available from a company here in the UK called Image Wheels. There website is http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/pages/billet.html

I'd appreciate it if some of you guys could take a look at their site and post opinions about specific wheels available there, in reference to how good they would look on a GTA. Which would be best?

Some of you will no doubt know that Powermite has billet wheels from this company, and I know there are a lot of guys on this board who love his car. He has 10”x18” Rears with 275/40's
, and 9”x18” fronts with 265/40 x18” Bridgestone.

A pic of Powermites wheels is attached below:-

There are more pics of PM's car in this thread:-

I like the wheels in the pic you posted. If you notice, the #61 in your link looks very similar to the Firehawk rim...hmmmmm.

I really only like those two, and IMHO, they need to be painted. I don't like the billet/polished/chrome look on the WHOLE wheel.

 

I agree number 61 is rather nice.

I think that the gold painted finish might be best on the GTA.

5, 40, 47, 61 and 85 are all nice in their own ways. Which of these do you guys like/dislike?

I think PM's are L5 in this link http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/pages/cast.html for anyone interested.

 

ok, nobody was asking for my opinion on this wheel. But that must be the ugliest rim i have ever seen......

 

i'd bet if you got these in 17x9 and painted the spokes black/charcoal it would look amazing on a gta...
can't beat 17 inch crosslace wheels!

 

#15
#47
IMO

 

That some good stuff you be smokin'! Where can I get some?

Not my first choice, but I think they're pretty cool!

 

problem is that site has different lug patterns so the rims don't look anything like what they should. also, a reverse mount with a more flat deep dish design would really clean up the wheels. if they are a true 3 piece design.

there are 5 on the site that are very comparable to the more common options here in the states that i think would look great. it's all on preference.

 

www.imagewheels.co.uk/pages/information.html shows all their details about manufacture etc. They don't keep ANY wheels in stock so I imagine you can pretty much get whatever you want.

Which 5 of them is it you think are good Kandied? What would you recommend?

 

Im goin to be buying wheels soon also but cant decide which wheels to go with. Some1 help me out i want a deep dish wheel and preferably thin 5 spoke or 10 spoke. I rather not have spacers which is why i want a deep dish wheels so you can see the brakes well.

 

No spacers required with these wheels as all custom offset etc.

 

How about them in anodised gold. Like this pic below:-

 

I think this below (style 47) one is pretty good:-

 

depends if your going to go with the billet or cast option.

the billet is the way to go and personally out of the ones shown i think 2, 26, 34, 35 and maybe 47 all would look good. their pictures are of rims much smaller and often different lug and offset but with the right measurement and size at least 17" they would look good.

the L5, rsk and vm would also look nice but they are cast setups.


all the examples above are based off of popular wheels here in the states so it would be easy to find examples of them on vehicles to get a better idea of what you like.

 

Hmm i dont really care for any of those billet 7 and 2 look pretty good tho.

 

probably because your going off of the picture you see in which case i would agree. just about all of those wheels can be found in duplicate through any major wheel company here in the state and most are very popular. except for a few choice ones which i'm sure we all can see.

 

The cast VM is where it is at for me...I really like them.

 

that depends on the color of the car and the taste of the owner... I'm a bit partial to charcoal/black painted crosslace wheels

 

i like 61 and 47
