Im looking to buy some new wheels finally :)

I need to know what kind of wheels fit? As in nut sizes and that kind of info...

Black with a silver lip or black and silver and a little bit of dish is what I want :)
I want 18s or if I can find some nice reasonably prices 19s Id rather them

Does anyone reccomend any particular retailer or online store I can look at? There are HEAPS on ebay but Im a little unsure of buying wheels off there..

:)

don't buy the cheap ones off ebay. the paint comes off them real easy. and i wouldn't trust going over bumps with them..
and I'd suggest buying a set of 5 not 4, so you'll have a spare in case one gets damaged etc. (worked in insurance, so i've seen countless cases where one rim is damaged, so insurance will only pay for the one, but you can't find the style anymore so you'll have to fork out for a whole new set anyway)

how much are you looking at spending?

okie doke stay away from ebay :)

Not sure I guess, just want to see what is out there before I start budgeting, I would prefer to keep it as long as possible though

Hey sophia,

These are the rims I was going to get. They are called KG-5 and made by King Wheels.

They come in 17" and 18" ... I know the price for 17" with 4 tyres is $1050 so i thought that was preety cheap.
Theres a place down here in brisbane that sells them :)

the spokes (I think thats what theyre called :|) are too far spaced apart, Id rather little bit of gap with lots of wheel

reading that back to myself and I dont think its going to make any sense haha do you know anywhere online I can look? that arent dodgy dealers?
