I dont normally like posting such threads as i like to completely make my own decision on what i do with my cars, instead of asking other people what they think.
But this time im just asking, should i just refurb the standard wheels in the pictures in gunmetal (as they should be as standard - silver was an optional extra), or should i get some 17 or 18" compomotive Mo 5's in Gunmetal with Anodized Orange centre nut caps?

Dark wheels would really suit it imo, get someone to do a photoshop

dark wheels are standard on them anyway (the ones that are on should be gunmetal - silver was an optional extra when new), but a photoshop would be better.

pictures dont show the headlights well at all, i didnt like them in the pictures when i bought the car, but they look much better in the flesh, plus there is about £350 worth of lights there alone, not your normal shite projector lights.

I Presume you mean the Pegasus R wheels from the S60R?
They dont look right on S70's at all, rather keep with the proper S70R wheels that it has than have the ones you mentioned.
Im quite un decided at the minute whether to refurb or buy new with new tyres as well

Refurb them. Those Mo's look rubbish compared to the standard dark wheels.
Dark Mo's might work, but not in white.

the car is an S70R and it has the correct original comet wheels on it, the original colour is anthracite, it was an optional extra to have them silver as they are
The 850 T5-R had 5 Spoke Titan alloys similar looking to kahns, in anthracite
The 850R Had 7 spokes on in anthracite
And the S60R had 18" Pegasus Alloys with the R logo on them in anthracite or silver

Im intending getting alot of carbon bits made of for the car too, including front splitter and possibly rear spoiler and any other bits too that i can think of.
The Compomotives are Currently winning with me at the minute, but there are a few options.
Revolution Milleniums are a possibility too.
