I reckon the Gladiator Rims look nice...
But you'd have to see what they look like on the GT4... Wheels suit some car but not others...

Any other styles suggestions people can think of ?
budget range seems to be around the 2500 mark with tyres as well

I am a huge fan of the GT4 and personally I wouldnt go with any of the pictured wheels. 18" AME's look schmick on the GT4's althoug this really is a decision that you have to make. Its you car so its what you like, not what others think look best like I have seen people do and their car ends up looking shit.

Whatever you do dont go 5 spoke every man and his dog has got 5 spokes they look shht.

So that means i cant go Auscar five spokes ?? bugga - id fit in with EVERYONE then 
those gold ones would look ok but a bit to pimpin $bling$ $bling$ for my liking
as a note 40% of my driving is done off surfaced roads - so they have to be tough enough - too fragile and ill be going thru sets per month = not good 
Im becoming partial to the dominators - but so far its a tight toss up between the adrenalins + dominator .. I like that shadow chrome finish Priced some simmons's - and well - unless i can find a buyer for a leg - a kidney - and maybey a cornea - i wont be setting off down that path in a hurry

I've got the HR-125's in white on my car. They are pretty light weight and off memory they're forged so they should be tough enough. 17" with Dunlop W10 235x40 only cost me $1700

GO THE DOMINATORS 
Nice graphitey (oohh, new word  ) look, not too common or in your face, and they'll look real nice against your paint job...
another 2 cents for the pile

Definately go the dominators... GT4's look better with nice open spokes... to avoid broken mags make sure you keep your wheels well aligned and avoid dodgy potholes on corners out near Dubbo (trust me!)

Hi Stuart, out of those I like the Dominator but if you want some nicer, high quality 3 peice rims, my 17' Racing Hart Type C are for sale. I can post a pic if you like of them and I bet most people would chose them over any of the above. They suit the GT4 very well and you can get some thing better for alot less. Let me know.

Im looking around the $2000 mark with tyres. I purchased them at $500 a rim plus tyres. They are 17inch with falken tyres and were custom made to fit the GT4 stud pattern by Australias Best.Here is a pic of what the rims look like and a bad pic of them on my car. If you want better close up quality pics I can send them to you off list.The caps on my wheels are metallic green but you can spray them any colour you like.
Well everyone...... what rims would you go for?

Sorry about the images not working. Im in no rush to sell them at all and dont mind if not as I really like them. I just decieded to sell them now as Im looking for a change so if they are still around when your ready let me know. My car unfortunatly will not make it to the dyno unless I get my manifold by friday  doesnt look promising. I still will be there of course

thats a nice looking Gt4 - always liked the red - but theres just too many red ones ..
BTW those who see my gt4 on dyno day will see a botched reair job on the nose - got some paint mixed up to cover a large paint flaking ( previous dodgy repair by previous owner before the giy who sold it to me ) Colours too damn dark ! Motospray and dupont got a bit of a blasting from the paint dude locally because their tint formula was fecked .. soo i have one darker metallic grey splash on the nose .. But at least its sealed the cracking paint till i can get the group a Bumper on !
Called about the dominators today - they wont be available for another 2-3 months - BASTARDS! its a latest release so its not in the public sales area yet

I think DavGT4 has Roh Adrenalins on his car. Or something very similar. Maybe he has a pic he can put up here? I'll PM him.

well im going to go and get a few quotes on mags tomorrow
ones ill be getitng prices on include a set of 16 or 17 inch Adrenalins
ive found that spacers ARE in fact illegal to use in victoria - So whoever has em - better make something up next time you get defected for them in melbourne ..
others ive looked at are a little riceyer - but would look pretty good against the gunmetal grey - though i do suspect the adrenalins ( or csa tempest which are adrenalin clones ) will win out at this stage
DavGt4 - Still waiting on your photos
BTW - Anyone at dyno day know what type of rims that were on that immaculate red st 185 group A near the gate - and who it belonged to ?
those wheels were awesome - if i knew what they were id get a price on them too

well i got a quote on some " tempest " and " lotus " styles today - with toyo 225's in 16 inch - $1800 for the set, fitted and balanced
wanted the adrenalins - but the shop told me they are STILL waiting for orders placed with roh 3 years ago ..
the tempest is a Adrenalin clone - its a near identical syle bar a little difference in the lip .
the lotis is a traditional 5 spoke style similar to those oz racing mags used on ther rallycar ..
both styles dont need spacers
bit disappointed with the support whel makers have for the GT4 - only about 10 styles could be made off 7 different makers that they had listed ( outside of racing hart , oz racing , simmons )
17 inch wheels were getting little thin on the profile for my liking
