Wheels
« on: October 08, 2012, 09:57:30 am »
Opinions guys that's all

I have a three door steel grey gti (not colour coded yet)
The car is lowered on sport lines. But I'm feeling lower :smiley:
And I just want opinions on wheels I'm tied between gloss or Matt black td 1.2 or bbs pescaras in black.

What do you think will be best don't have to be black but I think that is theme I want to go down as I've just debadged the front and also window tints soon.

Would be nice for some opinions as I'm not up to date with wheels :)

BBS Pescaras in black would be nice, or any other colour really.  Are you going for the 'race' kinda look or, Euro? What are you interested in?

I would say the best advice regarding wheels is to look at other peoples cars, when you fall in love you know where to go!  :love:

I'm stuck in two minds?

I think I may go for the race look! So maybe I should favour the 1.2's

But I do also like lm's ?

I just want to have some other wheels to think about as I don't know to many :)

^^^^ have a good look through the Wheel thread and go from there bud. No point asking us as we will tell you what we like! FWIW, with your colour car I would say something like TD 1.2's or a similar look try VMR's V701's in 19" would look good but not black, have a look at Hyper silver. Not a fan of dark wheels on darker cars, they get "lost" in the look and no definition between tyre and wheel. BBS LM's with a polished rim/lip and colour coded centres on the other hand would look lovely. All IMO.

Happy wheel hunting

Oh my Lordy, there a bit lovely  :love:  tissues are going to be required now!! Been looking at these in 18"s in Hyper Silver. Are they available of the shelve in the UK or are they from the Murcons only, found them on the interweb from peeps called PYSPEED.COM, any thoughts?
