Default Opinions On Wheels

Sorry, i know this proberly gets asked a million times but i was thinking of new wheels for my car. But im not 100% sometimes i look at the ones i have and think ahh they'll do, but then sometimes i think they look plain and boring, and when i stuck new alloys on my del sol it totally transformed the look.

What do people think suites the car the most?

The silver ones look better to me, maybe those new wheels in silver? I also like the idea of new wheels, but it's not just about looks with wheels is it, it's also about handling and offsets and stuff .... not quite so straightforward?

For me I prefer the lighter alloys, but it's very much a personal choice. I always think that the dark ones look better on a darker body colour car.

Oh yes They look

I was wondering about cleaning them and what the inner rim would be like for collecting brake dust (imitation screw thingies)

I have to say, I've noticed a lot of people looking at my car now that I've got the black OEM 17s.

It's almost like having an FTO again.
