Default My new wheels. What do you think?

I'm not to sure on these. I think I like them but not sure.
The car will be colour coded and lowered on collies with some nice AP's behind them so bear that in mind.
I'm still thinking of going for 18" pff7's in a dark colour.
I could always get these re powder coated as well.

Any way what do you think ?

I am not usually a fan of white wheels on anything other than a white car but I thhey look rather good on your car. Once it's lowered and colour coded they will look even better.

Yes like it

Thank for the comments guys keep them coming. Add some pic's of ideas as well.

I'm the same as doobs scoob "the more I look at them the more I like them"
I'm trying to be a bit different although different isn't always better.
It would help if the car was clean as well.

Coleman
They are 18" Inovit Tarmac with falken fk452's

Here's a pick with my WRX alloys in anthracite & Hankook tyres.

Not a fan of white wheels and especially not on a darker coloured car.
It looks like it's wearing plimmys.

Nice looking wheels I think its the dirt on the car that is not fitting in with the spotless wheels. Give it a good clean and a polish and stick up a pic and I'd say it'll look a lot better.

Top thread you have going sir. Great work.

Now you've got me thinking.
What are the tyres like & what about the distance between us?

Take a look at this thread where I brought these wheels from. There is some close up pic's of my wheels at the end of it. Then see what you think.
(mind you not a problem for you with that spray gun)

https://www.scoobynet.com/private-fo...-for-sale.html

I do think mine will look lovely when the car is lowered but, they would look the nuts on yours.

Are you going to the Colin McRae weekender? I'd love to see your work close up.

I know. Tein's or Bc's were next but my discs and pads gave up first so I saw that as a good opportunity to buy some AP's.

Order of next mod's

Ap Racing 4 pot cp5000 painted & fitted
Coilovers not sure which yet
one of Harveys fmic's & light weight pulleys
another map by Jolly Green Monster
splitter, sti rear spoilers + colour code
clear front/side repeaters
rear ap's

All in time for the Colin McRae weekender on the 23rd July
