You have a wide selection to choose for, the only issue could be clearance with the brembo brakes some alloy wheels don’t have much clearance. for a start have a look here and you can view all the alloy wheels by colour : http://www.performancealloys.com/Fin...By-Colour.aspx
I would suggest once you have a short list of a few wheels you like give them a call and I am sure they can help. I got my alloy wheels from PerformanceAlloys.com and the deal was good.

Strange mine has a set of 8 x 19 OZ's and it's fine.
An enthusiast is willing to compromise the ride quality a little in the search for increased grip...
IMHO

P.S. I could let you have mine in black ?

Dunx, if they are that good, why are you selling yours. 19's made my car handle like crap, tram lining, pot holes are a no go. They put to much strain on the steering etc. You are far better going for a wider 18, and you can set your car up really aggressive.

'Cos I have many sets of wheels...
Gaz they retail at £200 a corner, make me a reasonable offer... by PM. Can get them done any colour you like by the way...
The OZ's weigh only a fraction of the weight of the massively heavy OEM alloys, I can lift one OZ with a tyre at arms length with ease, no way I can do that with an OEM rim and tyre.
I want some 8 x 17" rims for track use, ideally.

P.S. The RE-070's on mt OEM rims tram-line...
P.P.S. The wrong offset will cause problems, mine aren't, so car is just much grippier than on a narrower tyres.
T'other set with R888's.
