Damn, they look good on there! I almost wish I'd left my orange lenses on instead of going all clear

Yeah, and the 15's look better than the 16's. The 16's look a bit like ROH's, the 15's look like Porsche wheels

wheels are a very personal choice. Very subjective too. In my own opinion 16's look the best on the NA's. In the 15's the tyre choice is much bigger. The OEM 15" rims are also very light. Each to their own. For me its also athetics as long as I can get decent rubber for it. Which nowdays......I can :mrgreen:

Hmm, I just saw yakob's garage thread, now I think the 6's would actually suit him quite well
