Yup, gold/bronze rims look best on Velocity Red; anything else just looks "Meh!" IMO.

I got new wheels

haha

Got my Enkei RPF1's fitted today with RE002 tyres. They are 16x7 +43

The difference it makes to the weight of the steering is amazing, feels so light now compared to the stock 16s.

Not completely convinced but heres the SE with plasti-dip white rims. (always loved the BTTC cars and their white rims :oops:

Photo taken on iphone so colours are a bit meh.

Personally I like it. But the wheels do need something subtle to balance it all ... eg if the number plate had been white text on red, it would all look great.

It's not the first time I've seen this done and I don't mind it but think the white would only really work with the red paint scheme......
Hmmmmm, those plates look a bit familiar. :wink:

You really need to do something about that intercooler mate, it's embarrassing!

I believe the stock "intercooler" was actually a photograph of a real one, rotated 90 degrees and printed to scale on an A4 piece of paper.

My memory may be wrong however... :lol:

Enkeis are a classic! I would say that a little less offset would accentuate the spokes. Did the 16x7 come in any less offset?
