Default wheel dilema....mk1 FRS

right i have at home the following

a mk1 focus RS with minty mint silver standard wheels (2 AD08's 2 falkens)

i also have tucked away

1 set H&R lowering springs
1 set new comp TH's in white
1 set comp MO6 in athracite
1 set michelin ps3's brand new
1 set yoko A048's (2 good, 2 illegal)
1 set spare FRS alloys in anthracite (need tidying)

no should i just stick with the standard look or use some of the goodies ive accumulated?

pics to help the decision making progress

i'm leaning towards the following

anthracite mo's wrapped in the new ps3's
fit HR lowering springs
fit 2 of the a048's on the standard wheels (other 2 are ad08's) for track days

sell the TH's (or keep, now they are NLA)
sell the spare set

choices choices

The MOs are a lovely wheel !!

The standard wheels are my fave of all time. They just look timeless.

People will see in years to come when they still look awesome.

Your arrogance is astounding. Your intelligence towards other people's input, knowledge and opinion begs belief that your able to comment towards somebody over their post count.
Do you measure everyone's intelligence by their post count?
Better still do you measure your own penis on the post count scale? If so mines way bigger than yours.

So the Apt phrase sticks

Still Mo's!

i agree....but ive had her 6 years now, so a change might be good

it hard to mod a frs (like series 1's and 3 doors) without making them look worse.

my fave mod would be AP's so one set might make way to fund a set in the new year

I love the standard wheels but must admit Superleggeras do look good on an FRS.
