    new wheels

    Hi all,
    I want to put some better looking wheels on my tig, (currently have the standard 2010 16" with pirelli tyres).
    Have found some great looking black wheels (my tig is also black) that have the same look as the golf GTI wheels. ADVANTI CONCEPT. 18" or 19"
    Not sure how to include a pic in this thread yet. Will do so when I work it out. Would love feedback from you all.
    I do not do much serious offroad work, hence this is mainly for looks on-road.

    I looked into the Advanti concept's.
    They would look freaking awesome on the Tig in black as they have a black face.
    Definitely have the look of the detroit's.

    I reckon you should go with them if they are priced well enough.

    Otherwise have a look at these puppies:
    OZ RACING MICHELANGELO II PL



    OZ RACING SARDEGNA



    OZ RACING SUPERTURISMO GT



    OZ RACING VERSILIA

    You talking about these ones?



    I reckon they'll look quite nice. I considered getting black rims too, but then with doing offroading, I thought sticking with the higher sidewalled 16" rims I have and spending the money on some AT tyres when the time comes is probably a smarter move.

    If you do put black wheels on your car, please put your pic up. I was thinking of getting black rims on my black tig (diesel) - I love the look of them, but dont know what they would look like on the tig. I too have the standard 16" with pirellis.

    Thanks

    those two would be the best options... both a great looking wheel!!!

    but remember folks, if you get wheels, you have to get the stance to match, OTHERWISE it just looks plain stoooopid

    OZ Turismos are my favourite wheel of all time (harking back to the BTCC late 90's )! Stance must be Phat or phail

    Hi guys,
    Thanks for all of your feedback! I will go with the Concepts, as they should look good on my black tig. The other suggestions were not too bad either thanks.

    Will get these sorted tomorrow morning...

    Just a thought: anyone want to buy a set of original 16" wheels with pirelli tyres??? Any offers?
    Done 20,000kms.

    Well I thought it may offset my cost of the new ones a little.

    (or i may keep them for offroad trips later on....ah decisions!

    Hi Transporter,
    Oh yep, sorry. I forgot that this was not the place for selling stuff. Thanks for the kind reminder.
