Please do not go for those awful wolfrace wheels.

What about some hard as nails black pro race 1.2 or 2's? I'm sure jonzy is still selling his brand new ones for cheap.

Loving those artec ones tho.

Just steer clear of wolfrace, not on a show car. IMO if you go wolfrace you will need to do neon washer jets as well;)

I really like porsche wheels, could u not get a cheap 2nd hand set and get them refurbished?

Shop around for refurbs, you can get much cheaper:)

Take your time with wheels. Get it right and it will look stunning, get it wrong and it will kill it.

As its IHI it deserves to look the best:)

Well these are black, and are deep dish?

To refurb current wheels will be over £400....

I can get these with tyres for £300....

I guess "show car" would be a nice to have, I dont have pockets full of money... :(

£400, where on earth did you get that quote from Mike!!!

go to here

http://www.wheelrefurbishing.com/

they are in North London, and they are excellent, they did some work on some old BBS rims I had, they were in a right state and came up spanking new!!

refurb for 17's is £29.50 each for straight lacquer or £39.50 for lacquer and diamond cut....offer cash in hand and you get a better deal;)

either way its a hell of alot cheaper than the quoted £400!!

***EDIT*** Keep your current wheels as they suit the car really well***

Bubble and burst come to mind....

Just found out Blue Cupra needs a complete new gearbox... £600 for a reconditioned one....

Guess new rims or refurbs are out of question, unless I can do a straight swap lol

Sorry to hijack the post, but can anyone find those Rial Nogaros in 4x100 from somewhere in the uk?

Done some googling and could only find 5 studs?

go euro and look on ebay! check out some older wide BBSs, if they are splitties get your hands drity and referb them yourself, a polishing kit, primer, paint and laquar.

try some porsche wheels some go pretty cheap on ebay and all they need is lots of rubbing and polishing.

15's are too small imo.
Cant find any nogaros in 4x100 at mo which is weird because i was looking at buying some a few months ago, but it would seem just like the ASA AR1 they have stopped them :(

GUTTED! I've been looking at wheel options for ages and those Nogaros instantly jumped out at me. Nevermind.

I wanted some Keskin KT1s until I saw them on a Corrado at inters and in 16inch form they just looked too small because of the design of the wheel.

Back to the drawing board!
