Default wheels for my mk2

Any suggestions, apart from the usual Rs 4spokes and the mini/superlites,

something that will work with the gold and make her stand out a bit, but also look good with the retro look, i.e nothing chav

ive had capri 4 spokes on my 4 door for nearly 6 years now, wouldnt change them for a new set, they look like they should be there, and if you drop a different colour on them they'll look the part, dunno what colour goes with gold though, my cars purple with silver wheels, but its a "manly" purple, honest,

the thing is i like to 'be different' and stand out from the crowd, hence why im not going for the usual wheels.

i have a full set of lazers in my garage that i could get refurbed tbh, but i just like to be difficult

be original, dont go for minilites etc. They've been done to death

Saw in retro ford ages ago a bloke had Mondeo alloys on an Anglia (It was the drag racing one, nissan engined i think) that looked the nuts

Modern ford alloys look great with old fords IMO
