ARK Design. Opinions??

Postby blkdog » Sun Jun 17, 2012 8:42 pm

Hey,
Anyone heard anything or got any thought/opinions on these? I like em! :) So they have made it my "Potential Rim List". Choosing is so freakn difficult :(

ARK Design's R8 Wheel is a lightweight one-piece design, developed for style, performance, and strength. The R8 features eight solid spokes with progressive thickness plus a signature"Balance Ring" to provide rigidity for reduced wheel flex and strength from direct impact. The spoke and rim design are specifically developed for large high- performance brake caliper and rotor clearance.

Haha alright, I know they are shit... But I still don't mind the design. I know someone on here had a the "non-tightarse" version and they looked sweet. Who was it?

Kris, just because we dont approve, doesnt mean you cant have them on your car.
Who knows, maybe they will look better on the car

Gold/black = classic combo! What are they? Maaaan rims are such a hard one. Anything except for chrome ninja stars! I'll just keep saving and looking. By the way I don't mind the OEM rims like the passat R36 (prob re painted in gunmetal) or the Lexus ISF fin type (again re painted/powder coated). Its hard to do something different but retain all round appeal. I spend a lot of googling all sorts of options when im at work and things a slow or on approval.

I like this topic :)
Cheers mate good talk!

i know, well almost any colour on gold looks good :D they are the Ultrex RS in gold. from the moment i saw them i've wanted them :air_kiss:
i like the ISF style rims, but i havent seen the R36 rims?

but i think it all goes back to the classic saying "you've got to risk it, just to get the biscuit" :wink:

These are R36. They look awesome in gunmetal and matte black.
Tough & Classy :)
