Thoughts on wheels

Postby Brad » Mon Mar 26, 2007 1:41 pm

Just got a quote on these Alt Wheels, $440 for a set of 4 delivered, 15x6.5. Gold or silver? I'm thinking gold at the moment.

Thoughts? especially on the offset which I don't know about yet.

i think it's a bargain, even my 14\" starcorps royals package wasn't that cheap & those Alts look better. can't go wrong in either colour.

Good idea re Photo-chop. Will try that tonight.

I find the Red/Bronze combo pretty appealing 8)

(my opinion is slightly skewed of course)

I'm a fan of the gold initially, but I'm wondering whether it will get 'old'. Silver is the safe bet.

I'd go silver or gun metal on a red car too.
although 16\" loocks best on the NA's 16\" tyre choice becomes extreemly limited.
