Thinking of getting some rims this spring, but I am not sure what would look good on my car. I have a 02 silver x and I am thinking of going with 18's I have a thing for deep dish rims or 2 inch polished chrome liped rims, but I am not a fan of hard core chrome rims (like the ones in rap music videos) looking to spend about $1500 and I live in Canada. I was thinking about the 5 star coventry rims which I saw on ebay for about $650 they are no longer listed there. Also whatever rims I get must have the option to remove the centre caps as I want the jaguar centre caps put in. Now I know most people will say its hard to say its your car and your taste but just wondering whatmy "X Type brothers" had in mind. If you could include a pic or a link to a pic it would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

Not exactly 5-spokes, but see my avatar and photo gallery for my favorites. 18x7.5, 40mm offset,225/40R18's.

 

Rudy those rims look good but they do not appeal to me personally. What size are the rims?

 

Stock 18" Arubas

 

See I was thinking more along these type of rims... what do you guys think?

 

Aquill recommended (and likes) the Rial Portos at The Tire Rack...look here??

 

Stated in my post.

 

This is what I like :

 

cady, i second those rims......except....they are tough to clean and those groves tend to hurt ur hand when cleaning///

 

Yeah, you're right lol [&:]. You may wanna wear gauntlets for that job lol

 

Just wondering if there is a major difference on suspensions from 02-08 on the x because my car has 16 on it and I know some x have 18's on them. Now I want to go as big as possible without it looking like I need to lower the car. So my question is cars with factory 18's, do they have the same suspension as the x with 16's? Because I am thinking of getting 18's or 19's and I want it to look just right as I do not plan on lowering my x. Tired of driving slammed cars.

 

I know some cars had the sport suspension package but I'm not sure if it lowered the car any (sport gurus chime in?). If it did, I can't imagine it lowered it by much. I didn't having and problems putting the 18s on mine, but I'm not sure if I would try for 19s. I think 18s are the best looking, and with anything bigger, you end up with rubber bands for tires.. :/

 

We are running Enkie GF1 Silver18x8.5 with 225/40/18 all around.
Almost a factory look, but just alot better.
I was gonna lower the car, but I think I would have
had rubbing issues if I did.
Check out the sig for the wheels.
I have alot more pics also if you do a search for my screename.
