I should be getting abit of cash coming my way as of January, and I feel its time for a change of wheels.
I'm fully aware that the majority of people dislike them and at first I liked them but now I feel they are one of the many things letting the car down hence why I am now looking for a new set.

Thing is, I'm useless at deciding on what wheels to go for (as you may have noticed )
Ideally I would want either 15" or 16" Alloys as Mine is lowered 50mm at the moment.
Wheels that come to mind are the Kei Racing RSS Alloys, love the look of these but from what I can find they don't make them in 16's.
Irmscher Softstars, Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 and Pro Race 2 all come to mind aswell.
I also like the BBS 16" Alloys that came on the DTM Caibra's, gutted as I did have a set at one point.
I do love the look of Porshce Rims aswell but Not sure If they would work that well with the look of my car.

Im just not sure what would suit my car really, and I don't want to make a mistake again lol.

Any Suggestions Welcome

Cheers

Something else:

Keep your existing ones.

tbh, they are something different, and really suite the car.

15" all the way go for something with a dish, paint the dish gloss black and then colour code the insides the same colour as your car

Take some inspiration from LAMM13, as in my opinion, his wheels are stunning (and different from your usual Speedlines, Softstars etc!).

Some black, dished wheels with a polished lip would really set your car off a treat with it being a bright colour!

definately think whatever you choose needs to be a dark colour, the black rims look awsome on your car
