dazedmonkeydude Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Forgot to mention my current alloys are 16' The multispokes are 18' The 5 spoke are 17' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 First of all, Welcome aboard. If you go for the 18" rims you'll also need a set of rack limiters fitted to avoid the tyres hitting the arches on full lock. Also the speedo will under read unless you go very low profile. With the 17" rims you don't need limiters and the speedo will read pretty much bang on. Personally I'm not a fan of BBS style rims as I think they look too 'busy' but personal taste and choice is what it's all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedmonkeydude Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Cheers for that. I didn't know about the speedo change. Well that made my mind up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I'd have to say neither BBS style multi spokes look very old fashioned imho. White Rims on a white car is too much white for me. Now the second set in black - that would look mean. Wheels are a personal thing tho.....

jamesm182 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I like the second set but a different colour. As has been mentioned above, white on white is too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
