Default opinions please on wheels for my car..UPDATE PICS, WITH RIMS

hi, ive gone back to black rs turbo wheels for a while now, coz i like the look of the 15" rim and nice low suspension....

But would my car look right with a set of mk5 rs2000 rims on, they are mint ones the ones with the highly laquered finish on them

my cars in the sig.... the wheels wont be painted black











im still making up my mind, the wheels were in better condition than expected, they fit nice,

leave on or back to turbo rims?

not to sure to be honest, lose the twin lights and get a standard bumper back on then i reckon they'll suit the car, sorry just me


Nice rims mind...

i deffo prefer the rs2000 rims mate, but i rekon you should at least colour code the lights if you're gonna keep them. Like the bumper though...

yeah next job is to colour code the lights, my plans were to get a carbon fibre bonnet so the lights would match in, but i cant afford the bonnet now!

cheers for comments
