New wheels - but I'm undecided!
« on: 28 February 2009, 18:46 »
I had some new wheels fitted on Monday, and in the showroom and in the pictures I've seen on the internet, they look good.

But now I've got them fitted on my car, I'm not so sure. Sometimes I think they look really good, and other times I wish I had silver. I can still change them to silver for a small cost. If I keep them I'm going to get the Eibach Sportline springs fitted because I think it needs the lower stance to work best with the more aggressive wheels.

So should I be brave and keep them, or go for the 'sensible' silver option??

Don’t change them, they look awesome :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:.

I’ve got the standard dark silver Pescaras on my ED30 (Candy White) and if black was an option it would have been ticked.

Be brave, be different!

ps (cheeky question how much?) PM me if you like.

id say keep it black, red and black look pretty nice together especially with the red lip round the wheel.

Black for me - looks nice alongside the red, and the red lip looks great ;)

Lower it a bit more, and you will be amazed at how much better it will look  :cool: :cool:

silver for me to mate just something about black wheels on any car they just look awful, i love that fresh look when you have just cleaned the arse off your car and the wheels stand out etc but with black they just look the same all the time, but each to there own as thats just my oppinion bud  :smiley:
