Default wheel choices

Due to a small issue with my wheels they may be going up for sale - or ideally would like to find some more RL7's to replace the current ones!
feel kind of attached to my Racelines and feel gutted to think the car will be on some thing else.

but,
any other sugestions and photo's of wheel choices on malard, dont want to loose the tough look the car already has.

about a year ago both my back wheels were noticed to have hair line cracks in them, which were then repaired.
one of them then cracked again about 2 months later.

being home today from work i thought id take the wheels to have the powdercoated again and freshen them up, when my mate put them on the machine to remove the tyres we noticed another wheel had 3 more cracks and another had 1 more.

if this is going to be an on going issue with mine then im really going to have to get some more or maybe even change wheel choice, ideally i dont want to as i love the wheels and it completes the look of how i always wanted the car!

i would go for the RL7`s, but i have been looking for one as a spare, or a spare set for nearly 2 years !!!!

if you can find some get em, or tell me lol

i thought of changing mine but the only ones i would change for ( maybe ) is the OZ racing ones in 18in as the monte`s had.....

never noticed any cracks on my ones ( better go check !!!! )

this was a while ago mate - when i built the 3dr and they are long gone now

love the oz wheels (possibly all time fav ) but they suffer from cracking too- there is no way i could go through what paul ripley did with his
