What alloys to buy?!

[weekesj]

Just after some advice and peoples views on the alloy wheels that i am looking to buy....

I think that i am going to go for a lightweight 16inch set. I really like the OZ supers in grey, but i have found that they can be quite exspensive, £785, with decent tires!

Anybody know of a good set of wheels that come in graphite grey for under £650?

depends what colours your car is really ...heard that the team dynamics pro race 1.2 are light wieght

Definately an option!

I've got a red Cupra...yeah the 1.2's are definately an option!

Was maybe after a set that are a little rarer, theres one round my area with them wheels already!

If you were to go with the white wheels what you might concider doing is but a band of red around the lip of the wheel.

Will make it look wicked and tie in with the colour of your car

Here is a link to what I mean:

Only thing is that they're 17" and i was really after 16". im on coilovers and i'm worried that they'll rub?!

They might possibly do different sizes, and differne t colours, but I think that while wheels would look so much better than graphite wheels.

Graphite wheels have been done so many times.

Those wheels on your car with red calipers and a set of rally mudflaps would look ace

I Hear Ya!

Definatly agree with the mud flaps...i was gonna go for a set of subtle seat ones though.

But, i've alwys wanted Graphite wheels!

Seei fi anyone will photoshop those wheels onto your car and get 2 pics, one with them graphite grey and one white.

See if they come in grey becasue if they dont then you can rule out the graphite ones.

Your red car, those white wheels and rally mudflaps would look wicked.

It would look like a rally car if it was decked on your coilies
