Adams new alloys

I've been toying with the idea of changing my wheels, but thought I would give you guys the chance to persuade me one way or the other.
Do you reckon I should stick with the ones in my signature pic, or go for these little babies on this blue cab?


If you have any other ideas, let me know

classic BBS RM's/RS would look wicked on your car. can then wind it down nice and low on them as well.

not totally convinced with the super wide euro look. unless you are looking for popeye arms?

The front tyres are only 195/45/14, they should  be less effort than my 205/40/17 to turn.

Just to let y'all know - I have just ordered myself a set of the wheels in the pic from http://www.dubmeister.co.uk/
Give these guys a try if you need anything for styling your motors, or even just a browse round the website, they are really helpful!
Big thanks to Paul at the shop - very helpful indeed
