Default Urgent Help Needed from the welsh legends!

Hey guys I have ordered some wheels for my sonic blue classic and was sure on them but after these wheels never being in stockand inovit taking the **** I now need some other alternatives.

I originally went for a set of 17 inch inovit redlines in gold for my car but now I think I have changed my mind so I cant decide on the following wheels please help me make my mind up and if anyone could photoshop them for me I really would appreciate it!

Ideally I would have liked my car to look like this in blue.


Also guys if you can give me any help on offsets that wont rub the arches or suspension that would be great I should say that the car is std height and Im going for 18's

so heres the wheel choices?

cheers in advance guys for your help!

Offset should be ET48 and PCD 100.
I don't really like any of the choice's of alloy's you've made sorry apart from the alloy's on the Mica Red car at the start. There similar style alloys to what I've got and look great. Try looking at some Speedline's(Pro-WRC but they don't make em' anymore), all those other alloy's will be such a pain keeping clean to in my opinion.
If it has to be one of those choices though I'd say number 3. Goodluck, never easy choosing the wheels

Red thing is all the wheels I liked could not be supplied with high enough offset for the car.

Instead of buyin something cheap and buying twice Im going to do the tried and tested method.

Its costing me near enough £900 for the Gra's in gunmetal with 215/35/18 rubber on finance as cash was in short supply. Mainly due to having to sort my suspension aswell.
Justin @ Top Gear was fantastic throughout even though I have been a pain in his *** he went to nearly every manufacturer they deal with to get me some options because Inovit pissed me about on delivery of the Redlines.

I should be along at a meet soon now that my car will be road legal again!
cheers for all your help though Guys I really do appreciate it!
