Wheels, opinions needed


Recommended Posts

Need some opinions, I've always been kinda 50/50 as to whether I like the wheels I have on my Glanza since I bought it. Several people have tried to convince me otherwise but they've not fully grown on me.

I was thinking about getting a new set but these still have good tyres, so I figured I'd consider keeping them and have them refurbished so they're immaculate.

I'm now considering getting them changed from the silver/grey colour they are to white, did a photoshop:

Didn't realise it'd be this one-sided! Hmm, if only I had the spare cash waiting right now. I may have to prioritise this before my headunit now that I've seen how it'll look. :lol:

Idrees - Bit simpler changing the colour of things than attaching something where a pic has been taken from a different angle etc. B)

If you want to change them, change them, however i think they look fine as they are. A nice wheel those are.

In white they now look like Wedsport RS-5's, i know, i've had a few sets B)

I don't like them because of the colour of the wheel and the fact the chrome lip is rather scratched, looks like it wasn't really cared for properly. Both of those things would be corrected during a refurb.

I do love them in white though, the more I look at them the more im like :lol:

Edit: They do look rather similar to Wedsports, that's not a bad thing though!

Haha.

Now for the big decision, I can't decide what to do next with the car. My headunit is a complete disaster, doesnt even sit in the slot properly and doesn't have any way of changing the sound settings, so I'm stuck with the worst sounding music ever with absolutely no bass to it.

Then, I have the standard Glanza seats which I don't find particuarly comfortable, and would like to replace them, but since I only ever have to drive the car when I want to as I have a daily driver they're not overly essential at the moment.

Then theres the wheels, which I feel could make me love the car a fair bit more if they came out as good as they do in that Photoshop.

At the moment, I'm thinking of doing them in this order:

Half decent headunit

Wheels

Recaros

What would other people do?

the reason you odnt like them as much and are swaying to which models you want is because you didnt add them yourself. i have a set of advans and i would like to get some more but then whats the point when you allready have some wicked rims allready. just refurb em thas what im gonna do. o by the way im not a phsycologist <<and dont think i can spell ither lol

Rick said pretty much exactly that to me earlier, and I took it on board, so I can feel exactly what you're saying.

Perhaps when they've been done how I want them, and I know the chrome bit's in good condition I'll have a bit more love for them.

Cheers for the response though mate, you made a valid point.

spend the extra cash on a newr model front bumper and reflets?

I can save afterwards. Best to do things one at a time anyway, you appreciate them more. :)

Yeah I agree with that - I wouldnt spend money on another set when those ones are good enough. I would just spray them. I think once you have sprayed them and added your own touch you will like them alot more.

I would personally do the list in the order that bothers you the most = I.e - if the headunit is really bothering you most, do that first. Then the wheels..etc etc.

I really need to sort my interior out and re fibreglass and spray my front bumper.

Definately get them refurbed like that, they look so good on it

Oh and then late spec rear lights would be the next thing on the list after the refurb if I was you :D

Again, these will come in due time, no need to rush for things like that, I'm going to be owning the car a good while and I don't find these lights overly offensive.

The colour combo there is the only one I want to go for really. Not keen on red as I'd have to get something red to match it, then knowing me about 75% of the car will end up red, even though I don't like it as a colour. hah. :)

There mint rims so why waste money on a new set when you can get them looking like in the PS ;)

Never really liked them much as they were, I do, however love them in white, if they come out anything like the pics (I don't see why they wouldn't.)
