not planning on keeping it stock its just wheels just so set a car off, my colour is quite funky its just i thought thay might look quite cool, seen a nice two on ebay that was suburu blue with gold wheels and that was awsome, the wheels are quite a big expense just want to make right choice my one requirement really is thay must have a polished lip really want 18" but might have to settle for 17" :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:

To be honest all you need do is a lip and skirts (subtle GReddy for example) and that would probably looks the dogs :thumleft:

Bear in mind though its not far off the price of 2nd hand refurbed Jap rims from the likes of RBMotoring in the US...

I really like them mate, would suit your car.

Not sure about the inner gold though. Only works on a white or black car in my opinion. get them in all silver :thumleft:

funny im looking at a greddy front lip, i want toms skirts and an autopista spoiler and two toms scoops and if i can afford it a carbon bonnet of course this will be over time, just had a result though been promoted at work another £3000 in my pocket which will come in handy i suppose. :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:

For the 17" they only come in 7J, you wont be able to get very wide tyres on there. I think 215/45 is the widest.

Here's what the Gold D1's look like on a 2....

They are over £600 (some places over 700) to buy so that guy has got them up very cheap...

Trouble is he's only selling the 7.5" all around & the weak ET of 45. That won't look good and will be well tucked in. You would need the added expense of spacers.

You ideally want a staggered set up & a more aggresive offset. But having said that the choice is down to the owner and what look you're actually after. Me personally... the wider the better.. :thumleft:



If you are buying new wheels you might as well buy ones that fit. :)

FYI..The rear shot i put up is the 8.5J with a 35 ET

I also have to add..i 'm not sure about gold suiting your colour car.


But remember..its all about what you like.. :thumleft:

ive got inovite Aros on my 2, but in black with a polished lip, i love the wheels and think they really suit the car. plus because your car is quite bright anyway, i reckon they would suit it well :)

Really like those, but not sure about the gold with your colour car. Perhaps black/darg gun metal would look better? I to have been toying with the idea of gold with a polished lip. But not sure about it against SMG.

:mrgreen: I think you should look out for some 16" Work Equips :thumleft: or if getting a bodykit fitted 17" - 18" Work Equips :thumleft:

Now I have to go and wipe C50's drool off them :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :thumleft:
