Well it`s certainly a tough one,

Think i pref the autostrada`s suitable look. :thumleft:

But on the other hand i quite like the colour coding that wantanabe offer. #-o


Oh hell i`m not sure now :-#

Im going to fit them and take some more pics ,and see what they look like then

The autostrada rears have a nice big dish which i like ,and they are made specific for the 2 unlike the wantanabe;

Yeah but the wantanabe will show off your brakes more.

Are they both the same off set?

I dunno, ive always thought the watanabes suit older jap cars. I always wanted a MKI in sherwood toning with black watanabes.

Voted autostradas, plus they are a kinda replica of the ferrari F40 wheels!

i'd say front too, but then I might be a little biased :)
Cant believe so many people likes these wheels. I thought I was the only one!

Rears, with centres black and polished lip. Front ones look like minilites:

got to be honest neither for me, the rears look like they should be on an old ferrari & the fronts look like they should be on an ae86,but if you have to choose stick to the rears paint the centres gold & polish outer rim :thumleft:
