Team Dynamics- these are the ones I'd go for.
Mars
I agree Team Dynamics for me.
Rory
thats the way I was heading, but I do see lots about, or very similar ones, but I do think they are what i'll go for, thought about stickin 2 of each on either side and seein what opinions I got but its a waste of balancing and faffing havin the tyres swapped over lol
Rory
just received the TTE ones and they do look better than the pic i've uploaded so i'm gonna upload the pic i've taken and i'd like a couple more opinions please
Rory
altho not quite the same, i'm thinking these look really good and i'm still swaying towards my chrome ones, anyone agree?

The design would look nice on your car but the fact they are chrome means that they need to go on a black or dark colour car in my opinion.

Russell.

In terms of appearance, the TTE ones will look stunning. They look like a dark chrome in the flesh, which will look great against the red.

As I said the only concern is maintenance as I believe the finish can easily go bad - so regular cleaning and waxing required but otherwise go for it! :winky:

I wouldn't chrome them, leave them as they are. If you have chrome wheels they need to be alot bigger than that to get the VIP look. But end of the day it's your car you do what you want to do. :D :D :D

if those were my only two choices i'd go with the TTEs. team dynamics make some nice wheels but that design is over-popular and made by every cheap company in the world.... TSW, mania, wolfrace etc etc all produce very similar looking wheels. there's also plenty of ISs rolling about with that style on already.... ok so yeah there's plenty with the TTEs on as welll but you'd retain an OEM+ look.

all IMO of course :winky:

fair enough mate, each to their own. worth remembering though that rota wheels are always an inferior copy of a genuine japanese wheel...

Wheels are very down to personal taste. But you did ask so i will let you know lol. I never liked fully chromed wheels, i don't mind the ones with chrome in the deep dish ones, but its got to have some other colours on the wheel. I very much got my eye on the 18" version of the Rays ones pictured. But recently also seen the nice imported lexus for sale with the Rota D1s on which are also very nice. But my dream alloys are the ones by Racing harts. When my tyres are worn i will change my alloys to 18". But if i had to choose from your selection i would go for the team dynamics, although it looks very aggessive. The TTe ones would be nicer if it wasn't in fully chromed.


Ones i got my eye on for reference:-

Dotz

Rota D1

Racing Hart

....and the Ray ones which have already been posted.
stevie_
those racing harts are stunning.

i couldn't have the rotas or the dotz, i can't be doing with fake wheels, or wheels that look something they're not. call me elitist or whatever else, but i wouldn't wear a fake rolex watch either. my last car had one of 4 sets in the country of genuine kei office wheels, now i've got genuine te37s :)

i guess the dotz aren't too bad, at least they're making some new designs.

dave, yeah, few miles past scorton.
dave finch
them racing hart wheels are the sex i want :D

ye chrome 1s are cool just hope they are well treated with the amount of road acid around i had dimond polished alloys they were cool for about 3 years.... and then were eaten alive lol..olso like the racing hart alloys that nice chrome outer would be soon eaten away look horrid when this happens. you need wheels, with a stainless lip edge like lionhart wheels very expensive but they standout from the mass made rubbish and last longer and if ya hit a dam krub you can get away with a bit lol........go to next page for a picture>
