Default Bored of 3dr split rims

ok guys, im getting bored of the wheels on my 3dr and fancy a change. ive got a couple wheels in mind including TSW hockinghiems and old style flat comp five spokes. If any one has pictures of them on a white 3dr that would be great.



current wheels are getting far to common IMO

Agree about them getting common, been thinking of chopping mine in aswell. There common for a reason though, they look nice on a 3 door, and there are not many wheels that have the same appeal.

Thing is, Escos wheels, Hocks, Mo's have been done to death too, BBS Splits is the way to go imo...

I can only think if a few sets of wheels that look good but if I hadn't been spending ŁŁŁŁ's on the engine I would fitted the same as Paul has on the caltex but gold centres, splits are best

18" Escos would look the nuts indeed.

Standard is good



But 18s are good too
