Gracias Amigo. Watch out for the Baleno Wheel Thread, will post up a few more pics over the weekend.

Whats with Daniel these days? Wonder what he lost, his mind or lugnuts

Nice rims. I must add, those tyres are very impressive.

- IMO, alloy design should be such that the rear drums do not show through it.
- Go to the League site. I think they have nice designs and the finish is pretty good.
- Go to a shop and check out some designs in the flesh. That'll give you a better idea.

Shuvc.. IMO I think a good 15inch alloy should have 5 / 6 spokes, nothing wrong in showing the drum. Everyone know other than the RS maybe Accord most cars have drum at the rear. IMO does notlook ugly.

I think too many spokes on a alloy looks ugly.

On a 16 or 17 size more spokes look good. options like the BMW/RS designs

Black pearl,
something like the one below will go well on a black baleno

Do you guys think this will go well with a silver baleno?

Rj sorry missed your post .... Am still right here.. just waiting for the weekend.

The GTR which you have upgraded to is a really good option. I too like it and picked it from a Lenso catalog months back. However now am eyeing the NZ which I posted above.

Disclaimer: Again this is very long term plan :( so I should stop blabbering now.

The NX isnt still available here is what I heard. I had checked that also.

Infact I found these models to fit the bill perfectly for a baleno.

FT-5 , GC-2(for white baleno's), GT05, GT-6 and GTR(what I have) .
All these models are lighter when compared to the regular models from Lenso.

From what I hear you can order any model of Lenso or League from their catalog -- give it a few days and they will get it from where ever :(

not really ?

@spadival.. what are those alloye in your car?? liked them a lot :-)
In fact I liked the M6 replicas which razor has got for his Lancer... but he wont be too hapy if I get the same for my car.. lol... and also liked the Appollo Accelere FROST.. something.. its getting harder by the day to decide...

v1p3r · 21st July 2007, 01:38

NX is already available. Have seen it around in 15 and above.

If you guys are so worried about the rear drum, get a rear disc setup, off the 800's front, why don't you?

BlackPearl · 21st July 2007, 01:43

liked the LG236 and A226 also...

v1p3r you are kidding right? Thats possible? Thats one cool mod which I have not seen. any pics of the same? how much would the parts and labour cost?

Whats with the deal with the rear drum showing ?

I dont think its that bad.

Also
a) Painting the front calipers red (/ yellow) - nice / not nice?
b) Painting the rear drum not too nice I think.

Those are HR (A taiwanese brand). Apollo makes alloy wheels?? I didnt know that!! Frost looks good.. whats the cost?

OT: anyone knows if HR has a website? These Taiwanese companies arent so smart when it comes to online marketing..

blackpearl-the black rim with mirror lip which ironwolf suggested is amazing, the one in my baleno is outdated now.

hari_rama · 21st July 2007, 23:02
