Talking Wheel options for my fiesta rs turbo?

as the fiesta rst is tucked away in storage over the winter i need a change of wheels or do i? ive got some compomotive 15 inch alloys on my fiesta, barely done 300 miles on them from new when i got them, thinking of a change of alloy or would powdercoating them silver make them stand out more? i dont think anthracite makes them stand out?

also found this flat face compomotive mo 15 inch alloys, can you buy the flat faced ones new still?

which ones suit it better chaps? im terrible at decisions!

I prefer the flat ones and junk they'd look spot on on your car

But I also think your wheels silver will look better too

Both MK5 and MK6 RS2000 alloys work well on these cars. I got the MK6 ones myself. I've got the standard ones stored in my garage cupboard for when I want a change. I also had a set of white MO5 15' flat face alloys too, but sold them a couple of weeks before I bought my FRST. In hind sight I wish I kept them as I undersold them, I think it was Ł250 for the alloys fitted to a set of brand new Toyo Proxes 205/45/15 tyres.

silver works best on mercury, I liked mine when it was sat in silver rims as they popped as for the bra it protected the paintwork but looked gay

I've always liked 3 door Cossie wheels on fezzies, I think they look really well when the car is sitting right (ride height that is).

Sharktooths look quite nice as well
