Which Wheels?

Post by A1ex » Tue Feb 28, 2012 7:03 pm

I appear to has a small collection of alloys forming, which ones do you guys prefer? I'm liking what I think are the DC5 wheels but the DC2 ones are definitely lighter and make my front brakes look huge!

Snowflakes?

The black ones! They'd look even better with centre caps.
Both the white sets look horrible! Image

I'm sure the white wheels would look nice on your black lude mind Matt ;)

The snow flakes could do with a touch up too. Also, does anyone know if the 2nd set are actually DC5's?

DC5's look right even if they are white
snowflakes might look good if you had them painted a different colour

LO

Don't really like either of the white wheel designs , DC2 ones would look 8-) in gun-metal :mrgreen: IMHO

Cheers ;)

I actually like the white snowflakes on your 5th bud... And they're different ;-)

Whether those are DC5 rims or not I really don't like the style :puke:

I'm all for black rims on silver cars ;-) ... But those kind of just blend in (Look a bit nothingless). It could be their size, or it could just be they need a refurb with new black paint like Matt said 8-)

I'm going for black providing they're repainted ;)

I'd say the dc2s as well and agree with toadster that gunmetal would look cool.
They do make the gap in the arch look big at the mo though

Is your suspension standard and what size are the wheels? Im only asking because my 5g is the same colour and im looking into wheels and maybe suspension mods but would like to see the end result before doing so. cheers
