Default my car & some new wheels ?

urgh this is driving me nuts now. i have these rays wheels which i do like but im thinking they may be a little dated now. Was after something more with dish and i think im going for the whole smooth and clean look.

Ive gone for the ASM rep bumper and J's style skirts so far. The car is being fully resprayed in a similar colour.

I already have a seibon vented carbon bonnet for it.. so.. what wheels would you go for ? budget of around 1000-1500?


photo by me ;D

heres it last year with bonnet :




im aware the spoiler may have to go but would be replaced with a carbon boot ?

the wheels are now looking tired with some ghosting on the chrome etc.

thanks

I'm not sure about the grill, spots and dodgy knockoff bonnet but the wheels are

Get them refurb'd all in one colour ie get rid of the polished lip and they would be even better.

IMO

Have you got any other pics?

Chris.

Thanks man, as it is, this is how i bought the car, so the grill and spots where done by previous owner.
I want something dished i think, was toying with rota d1 or gtr-d but they seem a little common?

Thankyou

Rota d1s are replicas of ssr proffessors what I currently have, keep an eye on driftworks and eBay for the real deal!

If you're not scared of rolling your arches get some rota grid drifts

that is an option, mainly as the whole car is being resprayed anyways...

Looks really nice, I like your spoiler would have been interested if my car was more track styled.
