I have a choice of any of those.

When I was in the showroom 'Sword' looked really good and I said to look into the availability of those, on paper (Attached Image) they look pretty crap :pinch:

I like Vulcan, Mirage & Fusion.

What you think?

Added Picture of my car.

Alloys will be 15 Inch with 195/50 Tyres.

I could have 17 inches on it, But there way too expensive, Bigger = Look better. Smaller = Better handling.

Also, I want to keep the radius of the whole wheel similar to the current so not to affect my mph read out etc.

ive always been curious why people buy expensive rims for their pos cars

586589634[/snapback]

Expensive rims? These are Cheaps ones, compared to some that are ?700+.

POS of car? :sleep::

Sure, its no Ferarri, BMW, Audi, Volvo, Saab etc. But, I love it, Im 19 years of age and have a 2002 52 plate car which cost ?4,500.

I personally dont think im doing bad considering its my 2nd car.

Go troll somewhere else. Your ignorance and plain dumb ass comments are what makes Neowin a worse place to be day by day.

Nothing helpfull to say? Press the back button or click the Neowin logo, you DONT have to post your negative, bashing/trolling comments.... or maybe you enjoy belittleing people online, maybe it makes you feel good. Who knows? Who cares? Just dont bother in future because I shall just ignore your childish immature comment(s) which serve no purpose what so ever.

I see it a lot here, people do something and all they are get are negative and sometimes very offensive comments. Sure, negative critism is as good as positive, but this is not critism, its just plain immaturity and trolling because you can't stand to see someone else doing something that they like and you dont approve and/or understand it.

Accept this, people are different. Thats half your battle won. Now, be mature and do not reply to this message, If you do and its offensive/sarcasm I shall lose all respect for you and add you to my block/ignore list here. If you reply, I want an apology or your comment removed by yourself.

Additionally, buy a better car? Erm... how would you suggest I buy a "Better" car with ?311.99:) :) It was a 2nd hand car... I didnt choose the specification level, as above, Official Fiat Accesories, alloys are ?600+ and are very similar to ones I have choosen.

Anymore comments like these I shall ask a staff member to moderate and delete comments as they are all off topic and trolling.

You know what, I'm not sure of the backround of a Fiat, but I can be damn sure that it's waay better than a Saab. Do you even know why they call it a Saab? Because after getting it fixed at a shop and recieving the bill, that's all you can do is Saab. Now this is just based on how Saabs haven been like in the past, not sure what it is like now. Hope you enjoy your new rims, so lucky. :p

I want some new Iroc-Z rims for my S10. =(

I asked a question. I realize now I didn?t put a question mark, but I intended it as a question. You did somewhat answer my question but in the process decided to bash me for calling your car a piece of ****.

I never said you needed to buy a new car. You pulled that totally out of the air. However, my original question was why you would want to put ?300 worth of aesthetics into a car that looks like crap. I too drive a piece of **** car. I just can?t see myself spending that much money to make my car look like a piece of **** with shiny wheels.

I do not see my question as being 'dumb ass' as you put it. You?re putting serious thought into buying these rims and I ask only because i am curious. Yes, I am ignorant to the answer of my question.. but only because you wish to insult me instead of answering me.

If you feal threatened by my questions, then maybe you should block me and every other person who askes you questions that you feel insecure about answering.

If you want a staff member to delete my posts because I hurt your feelings and becuase you feel my question of "why do people put these on such a car" is off topic, feel free because I doubt you will ever answer the question anyway.

Cool down, take a chill pill and try to enjoy life.

Use google how alloy wheels are better then steel wheels.

Basically, they look better.

The alloy wheel allows better cooling to disc brakes by dissipating heat thus reducing brake fade.

They are lighter then their steel counter parts.

In general, alloy wheels are lighter, more attractive, and better at dissipating brake heat that their steel counterparts. They tend to be available in standardised sizes which means competition amongst tyre vendors giving low prices and good availability!

Fitting alloy wheels normally reduces your car's unsprung weight  - in layman's terms this means a reduction in rotating mass at the ends of your suspension components, giving you improved steering feel and greater braking response.

Also

    • Subtitle Edit 5.0.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 by Razvan Serea Subtitle Edit is a powerful, free, and user-friendly subtitle editing tool designed for creating, editing, and converting subtitles for videos. It supports a wide range of subtitle formats, including SRT, ****, and SUB, allowing users to easily modify and adjust subtitles for accurate timing and formatting. With its intuitive interface, Subtitle Edit provides a variety of features such as waveform audio display, spell-check, subtitle synchronization, and real-time video preview, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and professionals. The software also includes powerful tools for batch processing, translating subtitles, and converting between different subtitle formats. Subtitle Edit features: Create/adjust/sync/translate subtitle lines Convert between SubRib, MicroDVD, Advanced Sub Station Alpha, Sub Station Alpha, D-Cinema, SAMI, youtube sbv, and many more (300+ different formats!) Cool audio visualizer control - can display wave form and/or spectrogram Video player uses mpv, DirectShow, or VLC media player Visually sync/adjust a subtitle (start/end position and speed) Audio to text (speech recognition) via Whisper or Vosk/Kaldi Auto Translation via Google translate Rip subtitles from a (decrypted) dvd Import and OCR VobSub sub/idx binary subtitles Import and OCR Blu-ray .sup files - bd sup reading is based on Java code from BDSup2Sub Can open subtitles embedded inside Matroska files Can open subtitles (text, closed captions, VobSub) embedded inside mp4/mv4 files Can open/OCR XSub subtitles embedded inside divx/avi files Can open/OCR DVB and teletext subtitles embedded inside .ts/.m2ts (Transport Stream) files Can open/OCR Blu-ray subtitles embedded inside .m2ts (Transport Stream) files Merge/split subtitles Adjust display time Fix common errors wizard....and more. Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
