What do think of all these people putting new style wheels like 16,17,18,19" wheels with low profile tyres on old cars.

Personally I think new mags with low profile tyres should be left on new cars and old skool mags or even rims with old hubbies with a decent sized profile should be left on old cars.

I admit sometimes it can look quite good but most of the time I reckon it looks stupid having these massive rims/mags on cars that clearly weren't built for them.

I agree with you on that one. In some cases they look alright on some applications such as some Datsun 1600s I have seen, but old skool wheels were made to suit old skool cars as were new wheels made to suit new skool cars. The mintest old skoolers still wear mags such as Tridents, Hotwires, Minilites...etc and they look much better this way than with big chromes or 17s. Just an opinion though.

i think that new style wheels can look good on old cars... depending on the size...

big rims such as 17" + can make datsuns in particular look like a big rollerskate...

if chosen correctly they can look good...
old school rims compliment the car better though...

and no big full chrome rims.. i dont like them on any car...

Awww, not even big 20" chromes on a sacked out black gangsta mercedes or 26s on a Hummer??? I been listening to G Unit way to much haha

biger rims look good but not 2 big i like my 16 on my datto 205/45/r16 ar the wheels

Yes it depends on the car .. depends on the wheels .. but come on guys .. how f**kin sick are these wheels ?? ill buy them one day .. throw em on the ute .. yeh when i have a spare few thousand dollars ..

Drag Way Wheels

The DB83 and the DB100 .. awesome, awesome wheels ..

No these are better..I've decided to run ther Dragway Pro

I'm looking for 15 inch stepped centre rim to get my wheels "rebuilt".

All are nice..

I personally think old style rims such as Libra's like on the 510 BRE Cars rule

Personally I prefer the wheels/mags to suit the period of the car... but I have seen a few good new wheel/old car set-ups... particularly with new paint jobs.

I have to admit that it bugs me when I see old Merc's and Bm's with new 20 inch wheels though... they just don't look at all right. To each his own I guess...

I have had 7 different 510's (1600's) and have had every kind of old school wheel you can name. But I just got tired of it. Too old. Too "retro". I like 16's on 510's myself and have had them on my last two cars. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Maybe that's just me...
