i'm havin trouble finding a style of alloy that will suit my car. I want 15's or maybe 16's cos i'm having trouble with the power or sheer lack of it as it is. Below is a pic of my car, but there are others in my garage !!


cheers ppl

think u could be right there. I wanted the dark chromey finish, but the photoshop makes the alloys look ovalish and bout 16", which i ain't gonna have. Do u think i should drop it 40mm or 60mm ??????

Well I've got these in the 'Hi-Power Silver' finish, and although they're not as dark as those in the 'shop, they still look better than a standard finish IMO

Pictures never do it justice though...

Try some FOX 6 EVO's mate - they look nice in a 16" dropped 40mm
Simple lines often make the biggest difference.
I do like the dark colour tho
good luck with the wheels dude

I'd still go with the recommendation I made before, and that you've shopped twice - Team Dynamics Mirage in HPS

Clean, subtle and not massively common either
