wheel suggestions mk2 tub

Well as titled really, im watching some alloys on eBay, i dare say someone else on here is probably bidding aswell, they are ones with abarth red centers, i've already got a set like these though, just wondering what wheels would really suit it? it's going to go black when i can afford the paint!!

black cars and black wheels dont go thats for sure, but im not sure what people think about the colour white on wheels?

but then i really like the look of really deep alloys nice and shiny...

don't want to pay an arm and a leg and end up with something that doesn't "look right"

Re: wheel suggestions mk2 tub

Depends on the colour of the car tbh i've never been a fan of all black wheels they arent my cup of tea, deep dish euro style rims would look cool if it was decked nice and low and white alloys will always look cool especially comp mos in fact i've been toying with the idea recently, did this photoshop to see what it would look like on fiesta st alloys and i love it think its pretty cool lol

Re: wheel suggestions mk2 tub

yeah they would look quite good in white..
Do you know what sort of cars i should be looking at for wheel replacements (direct or indirect with a known way to fit)..
I suspect some Alfa's but im not sure which ones etc?..
Ta
P.s feel free to post me a link about E/T and offsets (explanation of) etc, i also have no idea what a "wobbly" bolt is? im a mechanic by nature but havent come accross any wobbly bolts? i suspected maybe they were just an odd shape to allow fitment of wheels with different offsets etc?
thanks for any ideas

Re: wheel suggestions mk2 tub

Well the welder broke today so not been welding tonight, instead i made a half arsed attempt at sorting one wheel out.
So i half arsed rubbed it down, half arsed used a can of filler primer (in yellow?) , then before it was completely dried, half arsed rubbed it down, then half arsed sprayed it with BMW White - which actually has turned out quite nice! pics to follow
