Opinions please on new wheel choices. I usually deem black alloys to be a bit chavvy/scene but on the right car in the right colour they can look spot on. I am open to suggestions though of course. Only thinking of going 1" bigger, don't want to affect handling.

Car:





Inovit 17" ST6 Black with lip

Inovit 17" ST6 Gunmetal

17" Kei Racing Force 10 Matt Gunmetal

I like the kind of rims that reply to texts messages and buy me a drink *stare*


also like number two and four! lol



edit: The indicator is orange (well duh) try and get an orange bulb with a 'clear' cover if you can, i think it looks much better :). Should be some on ebay that fit.
 
I have a dark Anthricite colour on my yellow MR2, which whilst the car is a brighter colour than yours, and the wheels are darker, gives you a pretty good indictation as to whether or not you'll like the colour contrast :)

And as they're a similar design to mine, I'll obviously vote for the 17" Kei Racing Force 10's ;) In Gun Metal! ;)

However, on looking at it again, I think the Inovit 17" ST6 Gunmetal's win, they just suit the car more.
 
The RAVS look quite nice, but I'd rather hope the decals came off. There's no way I'd have those on my car like that!

Incidentally, I saw a GT4 with a set of white ones fitted, and it looked very nice (apart from the cack, ripoff decals).
 
they don't even look like real TE37's though, they are just crap :/

Indeed, if you are going to go with knock-off wheels, then go with something from the Rota range. At least they look like the real deal.

Ravs. Just LOL.

If anyone could do some decent photoshops that would be most kind. I attempted it with the force 10's but my photoshop skills are pretty poor

I'm umming and ahhing over either gloss ofr matt. I think Matt really suits the yellow but my paint is very shiny and pearlescent, matt wheels might look wrong as opposed to gloss. I'm tempted to take it to a garage just to have both examples test fitted.
