Posted 20/05/05 01:03 AM Share Posted 20/05/05 01:03 AM All of the 20" rims I have seen on the BA falcon have been poor quality 'ricer' rims. Full chrome, poorly designed spokes, etc.Get the DJR rims in 20's, or JB's rims for that matter, and then put them on a BA...I'm sick of seeing these massive lamer chrome rims that someone pulled out of the korn flakes box.... It looks disgusting and ruins the look of the car.I guess you could say that (unless they are a beautiful display of design excellence) that I'm anti chrome rims, they just suck. No offence intended to anyone here with chrome rims. This is my opinion and I'm not trying to condem anyone becaues they have chrome rims. Its just that from my very 'aussie old school, anti rice' upbringing (in regard to my understanding of cars) that chrome just doesn't cut it when it comes to wheels.Anyway.

Do you have a bigger pic of it? What is the price of range of 19" wheels and what is the price range for 19" tyres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid $2900 new for mine in my pic, we also bought a different set for our SS ute for $2500 with same tyres. Depending on whether you can find a place with a sale on, I would say they range from anywhere between $2200 - $4000, taking into account preference in tyres. The only thing I suggest is to see the wheel in the flesh before buying it, as the real life quality of the finish (especially chrome) can look alot different than in the brochure.Dazza.

Depends what your budget is and what sort of performance/wear you want from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
