Voodoo's are a nice wheel but do what you like best mate. Everyone seems to be running standard rims nowadays?

It makes me happy to see that I'm not the only one who is been anal about my wheels.
voodoos and clear indicators look the best in my opinion, like they said looks cleaner.
but then I like the feel of 15's (nice and nimble).
Ive a red s2 and Ive got some diamond cut standard alloys with white recesses, they look the bollocks at night but then I think the look tacky in the day
I want some dare v1's in the dark grey/black finish they look mean but then they probably dont look that good if I go for 15's.
get rich buy a few sets and change them with your mood it seems to be the only soloution, but then who could be arsed!!!

As for wheels, whatever YOU like really. It's your car and even though opinions may differ whatever you're happy with.

Personally I like seeing a car with some different wheels fitted..but sometimes in a similar style to some marque-specific aftermarkets (eg: EscCos style, Standard with polished spokes and painted centres) but also like those who go for something slightly different: eg Comp MO's as with FRO above

the clears where knackard both gone yellow one had a crack so binned them next question would it be worth going for cossie power?i can do all the fabrication work or is it best to leave an up comming classic alone?

Cheers. will keep looking.
ref cossie power: always worth doing that if you have the ability, time, funds and knowledge or something different in that way imo.
There's a couple out there but always worth another perspective on it.
