At the moment I still have the wheels which were on the car when I bought it, but I can't say I'm much of a fan of them TBH. I've always planned on changing them to Speedlines or Softstars but at the moment I can't really afford either so I've been thinking about Cav GSi ones in a dark colour.

Opinions please?

I've found a set for 80 quid, at the moment they're standard colour.. Just did a shop though, black Cav GSi wheels and Arteb smoked headlights.

Picked up the wheels on Friday, just put them on.. They look much better than the old ones even in their standard colour. I'll get some pics up in a bit..

They have 205/55 tyres on at the moment, and scrubbed round a couple of corners (at -40mm). I have some 195/45s to swap though, should hopefully resolve this?
