And the white option makes it a bigger dilemma - they have a special on the 18" rim

The car currently has 17" wheels on - and once lowered will fill the guards no probs - Also at a 45 profile will still have a decent ride. Just not sure if the 18" will look too big for the car and give it that lifted look. Its alot of coin for some wheels - just wanna make the right choice.

Found some pics of one with the 18" whites .. Could flip a coin on em atm

Yeh thought about those - hard to find a supplier for em.

Ideally - i want to get a 1 piece forged lightweight wheel, to keep in line with what the car is about.

A set of any of those wheels + quality tyres is gonna be a HUGE weight saving and dramatic driving difference over the standard 17" wheel with runflats.

I still have a softspot for these BBS 3 piece wheels, just not the pricetag nor the rarity to find them:



I also found these wheels... but no longer in production - they would have been perfect

Comparing those 2 rims are apples and oranges. Black looks fkn hot but obviously looks better then the white rims as the white rims stand out alot more. I think thats the idea behind the black, it blends into the car colour and look alot less prominent. So you can have a shizen wheels (which those are not fortunatley) and still have them look good.

You choice, i say ditch the stealth trend. Even the commonwhores have cottoned onto it!
