Ive either gotta get new wheels and tyres or ive gotta get 2 new tyres as after a few side ways incidents i cant put tyres off for much longer!

Ive been to a local wheel place today and tried a few wheels against the car and the best that come out was the Kahn RSV copies!

but still un convinced if they will look good or should i say better than standard!

But then again after putting wheels against the car the standard rims looked awful compared!

a few paint/PS attempts that ie tried:





i just cant decided what to do!

oh yeh i know people run ET35 and it doesnt scrub, but i dont wanna compramise handling or anything, which i know it wont make much of a difference but it might and ive seen 35s on the front and they do stick quite far out!

i found a set of rims the other day i loved but they were ET35 and it was a set a wheels i would have bought there and then but didnt want et35!

i really like super leggeras, i think gloss black or anthracite wheels would suit the smoked aspects of the car personally
