What rim fits the best for silver Airtrek?

[stutzedward]

I am planning to change my rims. Will stay on 18" but a different design. My current one makes it difficult for me to clean my red caliper. Can you let me know which fits the best for silver Airtrek? Here are what I prefer but not sure if it'll look good with the wagon-bodied of ours. Any other recomendation?

Original - SSW.

Advan Racing RS

Volk Racing CE28

Volk Racing TE37

Wedsports SA70

Do you think ROTA Style will look good with Airtrek?

Additionally, let me know what color goes well with silver trek. I am looking for gun-metal or bronze. What do you think?

bro,te37 gun-metal or other dark colour n also easy to clean.

 

[ckwanloong]

te37 !!!

 

[stutzedward]

Okay.. TE37 is what I like too, especially the Rota style. Gun-metal will be my choice for sure :)

haha...cool eh...glad to help out.

cheers!

 

[stutzedward]

Yes, the program is great. Thanks again bro.

After trying on rims which I always wanted, I feel that I'm not really 'satisfied'. It looks nice but not great. I guess I will need to properly source for the ultimate rim I love before I regret again. :)

Some of the rims which I think it looks okay, and 'safe' looking.

Actually come to think of it, my original rims are not that UGLY. Haaha...

because of the airtrek big look.skinny spook rims look very small even is 18inch.deepdish or big spook looks better.

 

[stutzedward]

Like tht got prob cos I want skinny spokes wheels so I can easily clean d caliper n yet look huge with 18".

 

[kaninbu]

caliper mostly is just dusty only rite?by just spraying water will do rite?

 

[stutzedward]

Yes but it has grooves which needs to be cleaned by rubbing the surface. With so many spokes, it's painful. U may say just ignore it but u know how a perfectionist feels. ;)

 

[stutzedward]

What do you guys think about this? Priced at RM2200, original Enkei SC22 18".

brother, i got same colour airtrek with you, previous rims was Evo 7 original rims change to SSR type-F ( replica), b4 go to this rims i was considered enkei SC22 but it quite difficult to find in JB, so i got no choice go for this rims. after installing in my car it look skinny and my previous evo 7 rims was wider compare to current rims, according to the mechanic mention this rims is 8'5 wider hahaha.....

since the rims installed in my car already i will add wheel spacer for the rims to look wider and muscle abit in future.

 

[kaninbu]

Thanks for sharing bro. Why don't you get bronze color? I think SSR looks better either gun-metal or bronze. Silver trek with silver rim, too gentle looking but nontheless, it lools nice.

I did not get a chance to go to the rim shop yesterday and when I wanted to go today, it is closed. Haiya... :(

If I get TE37, I'll get replicas too, original is way too expensive and I don't think it will make a difference that is noticible for daily drivings.
