Default What wheels will suit the car 18"

Hi All

Looking to purchase some new 18" wheels for my Type UK Widetrack, what do you think will suit the car and where to buy from would be much appreciated.
I want to keep the gold theme as well.

Speedline Turinis are awesome They're very OEM looking, but lighter and look better. Almost what they should have come with!

either keep it standard , or i would get some prodrive 18 inch but get them in a grey or a black , i think some thing different from gold would look quite mean , dark wheels show a car off well

Have these on mine, used to be gold but got them powder coated in graphite, i've also got a set of turinis in black and these look good also, exscuse the dirty car, needs a good wash.

i must be getting old , i think the stretched or silly camber wheels don't look good , handling and wear must be terrible too , saw them on a very clean old school skyline and it ruined the look of the nice car

100% agree, it's the new craze for looks but in fact it looks terrible and ruins the looks of a car, that's the newera VAG scene for you.
I'm glad not 'many' do it to Subarus in comparison
