Definitely the works, they suit the car to the ground especially with the white tyre detail

I really love the Equips but the i love the Blitz also. Maybe get the centres painted white like the car? That would look awesome.

Chris, the Blitz are 17x8 + 32 and 17x9 +38 and IIRC they lie +3mm over flush from standard bodywork.

I bet they would look lovely on mine. :D I have just fitted a set of Work Emotions though. If you do think of selling the Blitz ones let me know. I might move the Work ones on for them. :thumleft:

IMO those work equips rims are absolutely stunning, about 100 x nicer than the Blitz ones..

I've never actually seen them before (admittidly I havn't been looking) but these may well be the Rim I'll be saving for when it comes time to replace my standard alloys!!

Very hot (and light!) 8)
