'Starcorp Racing Impul. 'Does anyone have these on their car or know what they're like in terms of quality? I'm thinking of replacing my existing rims with them and was hoping to see them on a dark coloured Soarer, black if possible... of course.

I love my rims but they've got a bit of gutter rash and are coated in this polyurethane stuff that's starting to come off in places. I can probably have the coating sandblasted off, but the gutter rash...

Here's the rims I've got on at the moment.

Sam.......How big of a hurry are you in? We're going to be buying a set of these in white next week. As soon as they're on the car (depends on whether they have them in stock and how long to get them here I suppose) I'd be happy to show you how they look.

They look good.

Gutter rash can be fixed, and it should be no more than $100 per wheel

G'day Ollie, Cheers that's be great. I'm not in any real hurry. I'd rather wait a bit and hopefully see a few examples. I think the shaddow finish will look awesome on a black car like mine.

Of course, It MUST be done before Easter

In 18" they're nearly a grand cheaper still. $1400 INCLUDING tyres and wheel nuts.

I remember either last last year, or early this year, someone posted their Soarer up and had the same rims as my current ones. Or at least they looked the same? Can't find the post anywhere. If anyone knows, I'm trying to remember what they're called.

Sam.......Rang Tempe today to place the order. Was told they have zero stock of the white 18s. At least 4 week wait. Also they made a blue on their website. It said 18x8.5-9.5 for $1400 but apparently it's $1400 for 4 18x8.5s. $1700 for the 18x8.5 front 18x9.5 rear combo. Having a think about it now. Didn't really want to spend the extra $300. Although they did offer 19s for $2000 delivered. Hmmmmmmm.

Sam i think its better to get your current rims fixed because they look AWESOME on the car . I don't think that rims with thin spokes really suit the Soarer. Something like yours looks brilliant

Thanks for the compliments guys. I've decided against the Starcorp's. Now, I'm thinking about the Work Euroline's. Something big and chunky, or I'll just keep mine and get the gutter rash fixed up.

Fix your present ones. They look good.

Then go out to a good dinner with a great wine and toast how much money you still have to invest.

Jeez, I wish I could follow my own advice
