Title: Please help me choose wheels!!
Post by: Lum on June 09, 2007, 09:19:43 AM
I\'ve narrowed it down to the following 3. (i actually want racing harts but can\'t afford them).
Does anybody have any pics of these wheels on an FD?

This is my car that they are going on-

(Nobody say they prefer the ones that are on it because i\'ve already sold them!)
just to make it even more difficult, all the wheels i like are available in black, gold or gunmetal!:2Mad
Any advice would be much appreciated :cheers

First one is nice :) Beware on the last of the 3 as if those are ultralites they only go to 7.5" wide as far as i remember which isn\'t enough.

I like those ones with the wider spokes, second photoshop. On the other hand they are possibly the most popular and sought after wheel style at the moment so maybe you should do something different lol!

Post by: Lum on June 10, 2007, 01:23:25 PM
Right i\'ve decided i\'m goin with these ones.
(http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u43/lum90/car2.jpg)

Now i need to decide on a colour??:2Mad
Gunmetal with a polished lip (as in the photoshop)?
(http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u43/lum90/atec2.jpg)

or gunmetal insides with polished spokes and lip?

Post by: Mave on June 10, 2007, 07:09:57 PM
Hmm, correct choice going for that style :) but this last q is tricky; I\'d be tempted to the second to show off the wheels, and contrast the black bodywork a little.

I\'d definately go for the gunmetal insides with polished spokes and lip. Can you not get it with 5 spokes :D ? Very nice.
