Which rims?

Hi Gents,

I'm pondering if I should change my rims from the OEM to aftermarket, but cannot make up my mind.. :confused:

These are a couple I had in mind, I'm not opposed to black rims but SWAMBO not so...needs a little encouragement

Any suggestions....

Hi Rian

You can do the front only, go and speak to the guys that do suspension, they will be able to give better advice. Camil's for the front will cost you about R6000. Well worth it though. Only reason I did the full set is because I had a shock in the back that was done...
