Hmmm yep, not sure either of those wheels suggested would suit a 4g.

:think: Isn't there a website where you can play around trying out different wheels against different models of car on the screen?


More interestingly though... Confused, that reads as it you bought your legnum chiefly because of the wheels? :lol:

Interesting. I think I'll take my time searching. I've managed to find a site that sells steelies in funky colours.

How well do these funky steelies put up with 'freaking insane driving'?

They look good. Slightly bigger than what I'm after (15 or 16 inchers are ideal) but I guess I could try and bid my luck. They're in Halifax though. And I'm in Watford. And they're collection only. Bugger.

I've seen these dirty little rims so far:

There's something wrong with me.

And I'm too cheap. I strangely cant justify spending the money. Although, I think keeping my trap shut and soaking the lovely informative links from you folks may be beneficial.

Yeah, I pretty much did :) When I was looking, there were about 4 available within my price range, and I chose the one I've got over the others almost exclusively because of the wheels :)

I haven't looked at all the links posted yet, so these may be a repost but for £130 I think these are good eBay Lenso's
