Next purchase for my car will be a set of rims, but I really cant make my mind up.
Was wondering what people would get with a liberty same colour as this one. Maybe someone can tickle my fancy.
Don't have any pics of my car on this PC.
Cheers.

The ones in the picture above are RSO.
I don't know about anyone else but I've left Takuma numerous phone messages, emails and texts and still haven't heard back in about 9months
The Takuma site is completey up the shit. All of the wheels in the links are the incorrect names/pictures so disregard the website.
The only wheels they ever sold are these two:

Some things to consider 
choose fitment:
- will you need to fit BBK in future?
planning to add any camber adjustment?
- coilovers
- bushes
- adjustable rear arms
do you like:
- lowest with tuck >+50
- low with flush +45
- lowish with poke <+40
tyres:
- stretch sidewalls for fitment
- straight sidewalls protect rims
- higher profile for comfort/speedo accuracy
-low profile for fitment
rim weight:
- lighter
- heavier
- durability
- cost
Original design vs copies
Budget
Timeframe
Best bet is to search Import Monster for rims by pcd, diameter and offset.
Buy via IM or Jesse Streeter.
Go for quality and affordability and be patient!
Or buy from a member who has already taken the risks and won: eg dr20t ynot etc...
