Default Which wheels should I buy???

Need a change....sold my 19" Leggs to my mate and need some new 19"s that will fit over my 380 6 pot AP's front and the 330 4 pot AP rears......

Dont want racing harts as they've been done before. Fancy some split rims maybe, with a nice polished/ stainless steel lip??

Any suggestions or pictures anybody???



PS: In no hurry as the car wont be re-appearing till next year anyway, lol

Why not sell me your brakes, so you can fit smaller wheels?!
