Chrome spinners

Wheels are a matter of personal taste but here some of my faves

Compomotive MO


Azev A


BBS LM (If you're feeling rich )


As for size 17" is 'right' but 18s go on with not much bother.
Offset for 3 doors is anywhere between ET35-40 IIRC

I've got a set of TD Qualifers on my XR, they look the muts nuts, but you cant get em anymore, nearest TD wheels are Monza's.

Escos wheels look good if u on a budget.

I dont like 18s on em, look too big.

17s but wide look good, 8" all round at least, be nice to be a bit wider on the back, 9" with some arch trimming, remember the GrpA cars ran 10" wide rims so they do fit without any inner arch mods.

If was me and money wasnt an object itd be Image HTs...

Heres a couple of pics of my old black 3dr.

This was with 7x17s, i cant remember the fucking name of the rims now tho

But 7inch wide jus aint enough on 3drs as the arches are very wide, mine didnt look too bad as was slammed on the deck, but still not wide enough.
