They are Enkei if I'm not mistaken.

Howdy.

I know you want white alloys. And they must be 15". But, I'm here to confuse you, and show you some nice designs that you might actually like, but have a hard time finding in India

Mostly, i'm here to post some nice pics that might help you and others (*cough*cough*).

Nikhil don't go for white, go with a contrast color option. Can be dark gold, grey, copper based on your preference. If you want more sober look, go with hyper silver, you wont go wrong with it.

rims these are lenso

Rehaan --- We dont have a money tree growing outside our house!! Rays? Volk? Advan Racing?

Those are the stuff dreams are made of.

Jaggu, point noted, but we all think white looks the best. I guess looks are subjective

Prashanth --- Thanks for the pic. They look awesome, but the problem is, it is 17".

I'm looking for something similar nevertheless!

How much approx would these 17" Lenso's cost?
And 225/45/17 tyres would be in the range of 8k each?

Does the ride quality really dip with that size? Any scraping issues?

Nikhilb2008 · 3rd March 2010, 14:52

Should cost somewhere around 30k for a set of4.

Ride quality will definitely deteriorate. That tyre will cost around 8k as you mentioned.

Problem with white color alloy on a white car is, it will becoming boring to look, very soon

Hmmm. When i see white + white, it kinda makes the car look like a toy. Some contrast is nice.

Like for example - i like the pic on the first page of the car with the red lines on the rims of white wheels.

Nikhil I definitely would agree to what jaggu said. Its gotten too common these days to see a white car with white alloys. I definitely would put my money on this :

^^ White car with brass finish looks really good!

@ Nikhil, a white car with white wheels has been a common site these days! Try something different.
