Hey guys. I am just trying to get some idea about how the wheels look that I am thinking of getting for my wagon. I am tossing up between them or EL GT copies but I like the 20's because they are different and give me a reason to attempt the au front suspension upgrade
Anyways this is a chop of the wheels

I'm not 100% sold on that particular wheel, but I reckon the styling is quite good and suits the car. Would look even better with the car lowered a little.
What's wrong with chrome and white? |

^nothing. Chrome on white is a great combo. Even better would be something with a white centre and polished lip. Personally I've just gone for a set of machine finished 19inch BF1 GT-P's on my white car. Main reason was because I couldn't be bothered changing the offset and there are limited 19's in +6. What I really wanted was something with a black centre and polished lip.

2nd hand wheels plus re-dipping = price of new wheels
Also if you only re-dip the fronts and not the backs wont there be a difference in colour

Well if they are free then the choice is simple
 They will look good in pics and on the road if they have flaked a little bit - thats all that counts Bling it up ........................  : :

Sorry but that looks terrible, white and chrome dont match due to them both being very bright in contrast, black cars look better with chrome, yours would look tops with polished alloys

The 20's are on the rear but with out adaptors. Tomorrow I will also try the front wheels and see how I can get them on as I do have spacers here and then I can work out how much to lower the car
rear wheels

Ok here it is. The wagon is now on 20's
 I also placed an order for custom adaptors today as I am using 9mm worth of spacers on the front at the moment while I wait for the adaptors. I am lucky though as I am using as much tread on the nut as was being used on the au, so they will do for the local driving I only do at the moment
