Pics of Chimaeras with after-market alloys

[jsr]

Only photoshop examples i'm afraid, but these may help find a style and also my wheel selector may help too.

Antera 349 - come in 7x17 ET20 and 7.5x17 ET 35 so almost perfect for front and rear


TSW Catalunya - i will be getting these shortly, in 17 inch (7" rear, ok for my 400 with at 225 tyre)


Dare V2 -


Kahn RSS -


Kosei Racer - no longer available, though other companies do make very similar rims

Very nearly bought these - wished i had now. really liked them!


TSW Kyalami -


ACT Jordon R - actually made by Team Dynamics


Bellini Condor - love these, but offset is wrong for front (ET37)


TSW Volcano -


If only the chimaera had 18" Spiders as standard...

Glad you like the my pics, my site and my car! It's a Honda colour, Celestial Blue, but always thought it was Atlantis Halcyon! Unfortunately, what you cant see is the very nasty corrosion on the outrigger behind the left front wheel. After a set of new wheels, it'll be off to a garage for some major chassis treatment!

Cant recommend the chimaera enough. I love mine and am now in my 5th year of ownership. Just make sure the chassis is in good condition when you get yours!

Dare V2 -

Thanks ever so much for posting these pics up - I was really looking forward to getting a set of the Jordan Rs but have to say I am now really confused as I love the Dare V2s. Presumably they are available in the same offsets as the Jordans?

[Aubrey]

Wow thanks for all the pictures guys, and Jsr! I do like the Jordans and also the Dare V2s, look like Porsche wheels! I've (poorly) put some Dare X1s on mine via photoshop, what do you all think?

TSW Kyalami in the flesh with a high polish ali centre and chrome lip.



Theres so many different styles you can go for and previously to the last few threads the choice has been really restricted, with most people going for the classic spoke look.
Its good to see others now looking at something a little more modern but still tasteful. To me its about bringing the car into the next decade and still turning heads without being garish and max power mad!!

As for sizes, 18's all round with no issues. Very pleased!!

They're from a T350C, if you do a search for "T350 light conversion" you should find some results! It does look awesome doesn't it?!

They look very nice - amazing the diff though between your polished ones and the anthracite (I think) ones on JSR's pic. The different colour really transforms the look of the car and the wheel.

Silverstone Performance SP12's with Toyo Proxes.
7x17 with 205/40 and 8x18 with 245/35.
The Toyos are more compliant in the side wall than the Bridgestones and ride is only a little harsher than standard.
Much improved grip in the dry and the wet.

Check Ford as well - often cheaper than fleabay for new wheels

The RS7 soft spokes came in normal finish and diamond cut.

Cheers for the link.
Might have to pop in my local Ford dealer and see what they can do for some Diamond cuts.

Any idea what the offsets were, and what the tyre sizes were?

[bereman]

Car looks great, what do they do for the ride/handling?
