comps always do the trick but as you said mate you dont really want to copy alot of people

Unless you get an ultra rare set like the one`s i showed you

I'd go a set of BBS LMs (Le Mans) they're the mutts nuts mate.
I love all the deep dish classic Group A inspired rims

Got a picture of those on your car by any chance?


My choice: Compomotive CXN
Those new Ultralite 789 wheels also look but haven't seen them on a 3dr yet....

Deb, just had a look at the ultralite site..... you are right. I reccon the 789's would look unreal on a 3dr. But the closest we are gonna get is 4x100 by the looks of things

Except these are 5 stud and its not very easy to get BBS in a 4 stud afaik Gorgeous rim though!

I'd go for some DTM Mesh's mate, think Ran had these on his 3dr and they looked stunning!
