Default What wheels for my saff?

I'm thinking of changing the wheels on my saff again but don't know what to go for. What wheels do you think would look good?
These are some of the wheels I've already had



Then I fitted 315mm hi spec brake kit and rl7s


I've always liked rl7s but I just don't think they suit the colour of my car. I wouldnt mind a set of 18's but I hear they dont drive very well

Cheers Billy

Couldnt think of anything that would replace them and make a better presence. They would look pretty rocking on a sportka but :L

I've got a set of TSS hocks for sale. Good condition and as you have such an excellent name I'll sort you out with a decent price

Have a look in the wheels for sale section.

I see them forsale last night while looking through the ads I think hocks look good on a white saff but I don't like them on mercury grey. I'd love the 17in rondells out of the ad section but can't afford them at the minute as I cracked 2 pistons a couple of weeks ago and that just cost me 2k to fix :-( I asked him about a p/ex but he didn't seem that keen

My Sapphire runs on 18s, no scrubbing at all.
Drive actually feels better than my old 17s did

My Sapph when it had the EsCos wheels. Tbh I didn't like the looks of the wheels at all, but the stance was good..











But now I have original lattices and I prefer the shape of them, shame they're ET40 and only 15'' and they need to be changed if I go for bigger brakes at some point. When I have to change the wheels I'll get myself 17'' MO6's, TH1's or TH2's.
