I will buy set of 16" rims for this spring but i really dont know which 16" will look best. I have "90-spec" red erst with 25mm lowering. Compomotive Mo maybe best but price is bit too much.. ideas?
I dont want cheapest crap alloys because of bad quality.
195/45/16 would be tyre size and ET something between 38-44.

White or black? That is the question..

Is it an unsual request to ask to see the whhels fitted on your car before you buy them? Surely it happens all the time right?

Try before you buy sorta thing. Theres always photoshop!
I went with white to be a bit different as I see alot of red cars about with black wheels. Which I didnt though lol ball ache to keep clean.
I think white wheels have a more motorsport look where as black wheels look tougher. Give the car a bit of menace.

Cheers for that chop, think I might get those instead unless the 1.2s come down in price at all.

They do look really nice. I'm debating a set
Unfortunately they do not come in 16"...... only 15" or 17"

Argh no way, was really keen on getting a set in 16's.

I'll get the email address for enquiries and post it up, perhaps we can mass harass them to manufacture the 16's for a ford fitment.
