Been messing about with this tonight, and tried a few different wheels on, first up, a set of chrome rims from a fast and furious RX7:


which i like, but i'm not too sure on...
Then i tried some minichamps Toyota MRS wheels on my shell, which i also liked:


But i still wasn't sure, so i then tried some wheel from a 1:18 Bburago Mini:


But i still wasn't sure on them, so i THEN tried some in'your'face blingy chrome wheels :


but to be honest, they weren't to my taste either.
Finally, i tried some Wheels from a rally car, and i think with some modifying, they could look quite good:

But time will tell, so, for now, it's sitting on steelies from my mk3 escort cabriolet!

The black and white colour scheme will be come apparent soon(ish)...i hope!
