My ATX with Enkei LM01 18"x8

[tOyOta123]

Hi guys,

I recently brought some RIMs for my ATX after about 2 months of researching,

The attachment is what i thought would look nice and some bad MS paint photoshoping.

Part of my research I found a cool virtual wheels section at Bob-Janes

If anyone wants to see what their car will look like with different rims types & size

Just go to Bob-jane's virtual wheels section (http://www.bobjane.com.au/Wheels/VirtualWheels.asp)

Select your car make and model then choose their limited selections of wheels and size.

Now they even let you see how your car will look after lowering or highering the suspension. Cool....

I finally found what I was looking for: Enkei LM01 18"x8 for my Aurion, The LM01 only came in 18"x8 Hyper Sliver & 20x8.5 Chrome.

I didnt like the 20" it's too big and its chrome (too much bling for me)

Here is what the 20" chrome looks like on the ss-commodore from the Advanti 2007-2008 wheels brochure:

Now for the before:

and after:

and some pictures:

I actually brought these Wheels from Fawkner Wheels and Tyres in Melbourne (http://www.fwt.net.au/)

for $1850 fitted & balanced with Regal 235/40ZR18 91W Premium Comfort & free lock nuts (since the car is new so wheel alignment is not required)

It cost $330 per wheel and $132.5 per tyre compared to $390 per wheel at another place $2420 (i think) total with tyres.

Regal's aint too bad, I've been driving in the wet & dry and the drive seems to be ok. But I havent had other tyres before so I personally cant compare.

So what do you think guys?

Suits your car really well, not over the top.

Lookz sik......just dump it 1 or 2 inches nd ur DONE!!!!

[perthcamry]

looks great.

I think I would get an alignment though to save the tyres, maybe do it in a couple of thousand kms when it has settled in.

Thanks for the compliments & advise guys.

Yes, i'm happy with the wheels, i think it makes my car look more aggressive or tougher and

it doesnt look like a 4 wheel drive like many RIMs do to cars if you dont lower it.

I'm thinking of lowering it as well but probably later down the track into the warranty and lease period.

I read somewhere that lowering will void the warranty and/or damage the VSC and thats not good for my lease,

eventhough I plan to keep it after.

About the wheel alignment I probably get it done at my next wheel rotation.

Cheers,
