What Alloys To Get!!!

I bought a gp this week. Now it's only 1.2 active (wish i'd gone for something with bigger engine now) but my first step is buy some alloys. i was thinking 17's if the will fit without too much trouble. looks to be plenty of clearance. anyway has anyone got any ideas, it's black 5 dr i was looking at white bsa enforcers just to be different or should i stick to ordinary. All opinions welcome.

Re: What Alloys To Get!!!

FRom what i can see mate they look pretty nice. Black look good but i think i'm steadily talking myself outta white, just can't picture what they would look like. probably really good or really crap and i'm guessing the latter.

Re: What Alloys To Get!!!

Re: What Alloys To Get!!!

Ive been here and thought about it all, its not gonna be an easy choice mate im afraid. I think the white will look good as long as the alloys are right for the car. Then obviously be prepared to clean them every couple of days .

Re: What Alloys To Get!!!

In my opinion thin spokes do not suit the GP unless there are lots of them. Not a fan of the top left but i love to OZ white ones, superleggra or whatever they are called. The bottom ones look ok,i think when they are on they will either look great or quite bad, hard to tell though.

There is someone on this forum with the silver version of the white OZs you have got which may give you an idea as to what they might look like.

Re: What Alloys To Get!!!

Hi, here's the silver version of them i think RichC is on about.
The only thing is they are a pain to keep clean but i think look good if you keep cleaning them as he said

Yep, they are the ones im on about. Think they look really good. I imagine they would look awesome on a black car when they are in white.
