Sorry Pete I really like your car but for me the black centres don't do it any favours.

No didn,t fancy Gold tbh, reminds of a Subaru wheel too much..everbody has thier own colour etc, be abit boring if we were all the same..

Believe me, it looks 10times better in the flesh and will look even better with the deeper dish in a week or so.....

Pete what suspension are you on?

I think the black work better with the new design, I though about black centres but because the spacing between the spokes was closer i think they would just look like a black blob with no detail however on Petes rims you can still make out teh design of the wheels

Very nice car mate, i personally think a 3door with low miles like that should be kept standard tho as will hold its money better in the long run.

Not a chance Dave, when the car is eventually sold, it,ll be priced with the Splits, or they,ll be sold seperatley..

I still have all the original Injectors etc too...

It,s not OVER modded now anyway imo, just how they should of been, well it has a tad more torque anyway...

Nice car Pete, 9 months! pretty good going

But while your bonfire is getting pi55ed on by everyone can I add my bit

Can't you get the replacement set all in silver? makes the wheels look larger.

Look amazing here..

Now someone's going to tell me they are actually larger wheels

If your happy pete then goodluck to ya

Loving this thread guys, soooooo many stunning 3 drs to lust after.
Paul (North Yorks RS spares) i am so envious of you. How many RS 500s do you own?
Pete your car is stunning and a credit to you. Make sure you post up more pics when the new wheels are fitted.
