Hope I'm not hijacking this thread, but just thought I'd post it here rather than make a new thread......
With a black colored xtrail, I'm deciding between a 18" Rota P45f or the Rota Torque. However, I'm leaning towards the P45f in black color because it has an aluminum color lip which I thought would be a nice contrast in an all black vehicle & mags - oks lang ba yung ganitong setup? Or would the all black setup would somewhat make it look kinda "dirty" or brusko ang dating?
Never had a black vehicle nor black colored mags before - so medyo nag eexperiment lang ako sa utak ko 
Also, with 18" mags - would a 235/50/18 be ideal? Wala naman ba problema sa turning radius ng vehicle ?
Can anyone recommend 18" tire brands na hindi naman mahal? How much po each?
Salamat po  |
I did a photoshop of a black 17" Momo Win mags on the actual black vehicle - any comments po?

hehe ganda sir bagay sa blue na T31 parang matchbox and nag-match sa fenders at running board,
yung sa black mas okay siguro if may konting shine effect or polished lip...

i agree with eboy... ang ganda ng match sa blue na T31.. with the black xty, something seems to be lacking..

Sagad yung design ng momo win outward - so basically walang lip. But then again, this 17" may just look like an 18" 
Will the silver/chrome lug nuts be enough accent to match the chrome in the front grille as well as the door handles? |

those momos might look different if actually fitted on the black xty though...and they do look wider than 17".
i was thinking of something more or less like these momo pairs for a black xty:

Salamat sir Eboy
Actually, daughter ko ang pinapagawa ko ng photoshop - at wala akong patience jan hehehehe she whips it up in about 5 minutes, so impress ako at madaling makita ang result.
Between both mags, I would go for the Tensblack rather than the strike - however, both are still "more bling" than I would like.
I'm actually envisioning non-silver mags as I think the typical silver is a bit too common nowadays.......but not too flashy to the point that it obviously stands out like a sore thumb
While I still havent seriously considered other designs/brands - I think the Momo Win is a good candidate for my consideration. It isnt silver which makes people see you've modified the stock and its not too flashy that it stands out either. A subtle change that blends well with the vehicle as a whole & not just a shiny addition.
In effect, it creates its own character & identity - which is the consideration that I'm gunning for
Ma-drama ba? hahahahaha

haha good kid your daughter!
you're right, i also find them a bit 'blingy' and showy - the wins are great for a subdued mod effect.
i also prefer the grayish metal & bronze types, hindi nga common as you said and sporty/tuner ang dating.
nways, thanks for the ideas bro. have a nice day & good luck with your search!

I could be mistaken, but is the stock mags of our Xty Enkei brand?
I was in a neighborhood mags dealer earlier and was introduced to a preowned set of 17" Enkei "sporsch" which looks identical to a Benz mags 
I dont know if its a 2pc design, but it has a "made in japan" at the back with the embossed Enkei logo that seems part of the casting. Plus, its lightweight 
Too bad as I forgot to bring my cell with me so no pic - but the mags has a chrome lip but the center design is gunmetal in color. When I got home, I searched the net & found this:
http://www.pandagarage.com/wheels%20page/June08/Enkei%20Sporsh.htm
I couldnt find any pics of the sporsch with the center gunmetal color, so I attempted to photoshop the mags but made the center design in black color:
Does it look like a Benz mags? I know the silver one looks very similar, but after searching the net - there seems to be various cars that have this mags on their rides.
BTW - what is the current value for the stock 16" Xty mags going for nowadays? |
