I like the top one best too but I think the bottom ones may be the new ones which is a tat unfortunate.

Bugger, i thought you might all say that. and yes the bottom ones are the new ones. The top ones are an old set which i can't use anyway as one
is buckled and they are all scratched beyond repair. Will see how i feel about them in a few months but may do away one day. Always a tough choice
wheels.
Omega i'm in Sutton Coldfield.
Oh and DISH?? am i being thick?

Oh i get it now. I am not a fan to be honest, they always seem to be fitted to VW Polos that are scraping the floor round this way, and it just puts
me off..
I'm sure tehy will grow on me?

Out of the 2 sets i think the 1st one looks the best. If you want multi spoke wheels like youve just bought, then the TD Pro race 1.2 look much
nicer,as they have a bit more of a shape to them with a small lip on the outer edge like this:

I think you should consider making the wheels black. Would look good with the black accents on the car

I did have a look at the TD Pr Race 1.2 but couldn't quite stretch the budget, i do like them though.
Black is an option i supose although i think alloys should look silver, may change my mind when i see a few others at shows this year.
Chassis is an early MK Locost, i've been building for the best part of ten years, so to get to this points is something of an achievment!
