Default What wheels for this? Need Help!!!

Hey guys,

Heres the issue,

Ive been looking at loads of wheels for my car and cant decide what i want.

So far ive looked at these,

-Bronze Work emotion CRs....altough correct size unavailable at present
-Bronze Volk CE28Ns.....
-Gold PF7
-Gunmetal PF7
-Gold supperleggeras
-Gold Speedline Turinis
-Bronze Rota Torques

Please give me some inspiration as to what to get in what colour, i cant decide on colour or style, i want something a little different to the norm, but its gotta look right, as the only mods to be done to the outside will be the wheels and springs.

Get a different car cos bug eye's are fugly

Dark wheels would go well, Rota Tarmac II's in anthracite/gunmetal on my classic:



Dark wheels would look bang on with your black paint MHO

Anthracite Turini's it's the future and the future is anthracite

Keep away from Superleggera's, horrible and common on all cars

Nice car, just been to look at one of these in same colour. The Prodrive style like yours in Blue/Black colour is quite rare. Whats the spec have you had it long. My wheels choice would be pff-7 or the turinis or may be to be little different Buddy Club P2 in anthracite.

Corradoboy,

Thanks for the photoshops

Here's a more side on view,



The anthracite looks cool but i think it needs a colour, either bronze or gold maybe to break it up a little,

Fancy something thats not as common as the pf7s or the turinis, yet both look so nice.

Because wheels and lowering are the only things that are gonna happen on the outside they need to make an impact.

Oh, wheels would be fine in silver or anthracite, black on black your having a laff.

Bronze + Black = Different but good!!

Bronze VOLKS would look awesome... but you'd cry at the price of them!!

A set of Bronze Rota's would be a good compromise IMO.


Cheers,
Grant

If you can get a set of Volks in bronze then go for them, I originally was after some bronze Volk TE37's for my newage scooby, but it was to expensive and to much hassle to order them from the U.S.

In the end I settled for these 18"inch Prodrive WRC-1 rims on my black blobeye.



I think gold really goes well with the black! Would love to see what they would look like in anthercite, but I think the car would look to dark, I think the gold breaks it up a bit.
