Help me decide what colour wheels...
I am going to put some Kei Racing RSS wheels on my UK MY98 Turbo but I just cannot decide which colour! The images on the Kei site make it quite hard to tell how they would look in proper light. I'm torn between Hyperblack and Hypersilver with Gunmetal a close second. Comments please...
Here are the wheels http://www.keiracing.com/wheels_rss_hb.html

I had Force 10's in hyperblack on my scoob last year. They are quite dark, sort of like a tarnished chrome if that makes sense
ETA: beware the offset, they rubbed on mine, hence why i got rid

Steffiraf, what size did you have and on what car? Tell me more pls.
I am going for 17's which have an offset of 42 rather than 45. I also run Eibach springs which claim to lower ride height by 20mm. I have been a little worried about this being a problem.
Cheers

I had them on MY99 Uk Turbo Wagon, totally standard(apart from the wheels obviously) It was fine for about 2 months, then they rubbed summat shocking, mainly on the drivers side. They were 17's and the offset was 43(iirc)
Not great pics, but you get the idea -

Hmmmm, I'm getting worried now.
I know the 18s come in the correct offset but I didnt really want to go that big.
If you had rub on the standard springs/struts then I am surely going to get some sitting on the Eibachs?

I would think so. Just do yr research before buying, maybe try some wheels with the same offset, if a friend has some(not necessarily with a scoob). Also if you get some and have to sell them again, they are not universal fitting as they claim. They wont fit 4 studs as the holes are in the wrong place
