Really suit the look of your car!

IMHO the current gold wheels are a little OTT and detract away from all the detail you have added to the car.

The above picture looks fantastic

How the **** you manage to get them as Freebies?!

Hook me up with some free 18's too please.....

It might be easier to draw a comparison with a pic of the car with current wheels and a potatochop'd pic of the car with those on it side by side.... I would personally go for the dark grey/black rims and ditch the gold rims.


Cheers,
Grant

I'd say give them a try, without seeing them on the car its a hard call to make.

I guess someones keen for your car to beseen with their wheels if they've given them to you - magazine feature coming up or something?

That's thinking on your feet jim !

Si I think you need a photoshop expert for this one.... I can't make my mind up if they would look good or not ?
I think your going to have to try one out for size it's the only way to find out for sure.... the lighter colour looks good on the car a massive difference to your Ultralights.

I'll give you a tenner per corner for them, (they are tarmac II's I hope) if you decide not to fit them. Mine are kerbed to death so need some spares for show off days.

Of course, you could always sell BOTH sets of wheels and get some nice shiney 18" gold TE37's. Morrette cold air feed looks the biz.

What make is your rear spoiler and can you get a 22b style one? (think thats the one that sits slightly lower and flatter but not STi5?)

I like the new wheels, but then i've got got a Cool Grey car, and the dark looks good.
Where as you have the Sonic Blue, your running very close to having the P1 look.
But either way both colours go so your always gonna be a winner........specially with FREE wheels!!!!

Also what size are the new ones? 18's?

Sell both sets and get a set of volk te-37's. hmmmmmmmm. Although that might be a bit close to Moss' (Kieth I think?) very lovely sedona red RS......
