Default Looking at getting new alloys?

Hi,

I'm thinking of pur-chasing some new alloys for the Type R. Now I really like the style thats on there now...



But they look so tatty, plus they are due some new tyres, and with the cost to get them refurb'd (bearing in mind I have to remove those silly plastic studs, re-thread the hole and then buy some new studs) I might as well go for a wheel & tyre package.
Anyone have any ideas of well priced deals??

Depends on what you wanna spend. Only rims that are of mesh design that i like are rthe BBS LMs but i dont think you'll want to spend BBS money.

There are some other styles i like but depends on what look youre after... wheels will make or break a car.

Something in white would work rather well on that i think.

It had white Rays on it when I bought the car, and they didn't look quite right. I would love a set of BBS, but there in no way I can afford them... the ones on at the mo are BK's. I was going to get them refurb'd then the gold rim sprayed the same colour as my car, but its going to cost too much, plus with the tyres on top!

Is there anyone that is handy with the ol' Photoshop???

How about something in bornze?

I really like the bronze look and was going to go for it on my own car, dont see too much of it over here in the UK.

Something maybe like the Work XD9 in bronze? I think these look amazing.



Heres bronze on blue, wheels shown are Work XT7's

Team dynamics Pro race 1.2 in black, also available in white and silver.

Rather light and cheap too,

As Frayz said, Alloys can make or brake a car.

Took me ages to find something I thought would look right on my car, but it's worth taking you time to get the right result.
