Re: What wheels?

Hey, I would have to say some nice 17" multispokes (white ones would looke nice with your stripes) or some 8 spoke.


I really think white wheels on Orleans Blue will look good and when i have some money i will be getting my multispokes resprayed

White multispokes to go with the stripes.

Oz superleggera, pro race 1.2s ect etc. Whatever the colour these will suit imo.

They are very good, i bought mine from them, they are cheap, and i ordered 8pm monday and they arrived wed midday, cant complain at that.

Get some 17" Wolfrace Pro Sprint in white, they will look good

Re: What wheels?

Depends on your budget and style, if you want white wheels and have got a big budget then get some white Compomotives like these:

Re: What wheels?

Just done a quick photoshop (so don't laugh) of a Compomotive MO wheel on your car i think the white of the wheels look ace against the blue car with white strips.

Compos are nice wheels, and the colour suits but imo white multispokes suit the car better.

I just think that the multispoke wheel suits the GP, which is why both sporting wheel designs have been made in multispoke, and theres plenty to choose from if you want to go aftermarket.
