Ill give you a set of 14" 5 spokes with two ok and two rooted tyres 4 $200. look a hell of alot better than camira rims, besides camira rims dont fit good, wrong offset n shit.

thats a top deal....
i saw a set of (4) camira rims, looked shit, like not polished, with fairly fucked tyres the other day in a wreckers in lonsdale for $450.....
i got em... as u know
in my opinion they look good when polished nicely but u just gotta be carefull when putting them on, when i first bought my car i snapped of a wheel stud because the person that had the car before me had tightened the nuts up while the wheel wasresting on the shocker... its best to jack the car up from the suspension rather than the body if u know what i mean.... so long as u know that and are carefull, you'll have no dramas

Depends how desperate you are for camira rims. Personally I think that putting Camira rims on is just about the worst thing you can possibly do to a Gemini. The two main reasons being
1. Camiras suck ass and much like most fords they should have never been built.
2. They are fucking ugly.

its a matter of opinion i guess, i reckon as long as they are kept polished and in good shape they look very good on a gemi.
there are a lot of ppl out there who like them, they can be a good cheaper alternative, afterall not all of us can afford $1000 for mags alone...
all up i think that if u r sick of having stockies all round and you can find a good cheap set of camira rims then they are well worth it, afterall anything looks better than dirty stockies...

Man u guys will never learn!! do me a favour, net time there is a vw swap meet in your area go along. i got a set of golf rims 4 like $25 each. they look like camira rims but better and they fit straight on. Look at the yellow wagon in the gallery (BRADDO), its not mine but its sporting the almighty golfers.

Thats a good price, they cost $35 a wheel to get polised where I am in melb.
if U do get them they will fit correctly but cos they are a front wheel drive car they will rub when u full lock them.
They not bad, but again they might be buckled or some thing, so when U get them balanced U will find out that there's a problem.
just re-sell them if U have that problem.
But they will fit the of set is the same.
I hope this helps
