What alloys? coupe siii! pictures

Thinkin of getting a new set of alloys for the coupe siii an dropping it 45 to 60mil? Im thinking 19s might fit without arch work fingers crossed the DB9 copy wheels onit are 17s an they look tiny, its defo time for the next mod last mod was a while back now Uk Exhausts of sheffield custom made S/S and fitted it the same day, would recommend them to any1..


Im a bit stuck on wheels with the car grey not sure on colour (, gloss black, matt black, grey lol)

Heres a few i like maybe thinking of painting the spokes same colour as car wat u think?

I think a grey car with Grey wheels would look odd, I think Black would look better.

I like the first wheels best of the examples, I'd like to see what it would look like with a set of them with Gold centres but I've a feeling it could look awful.

Here's how you decide:
Print them out
Cut them out so you just have the circle
Hold the circle up against the wheel (adjust distances as needed) so you can see what your car looks like with each wheel.

Imo this is the next best thing to actually fitting the wheel to see what it looks like

Put some bigger tyres on the ones you have to fill the arches. I don't like the bigger rims with lower profile tyres, it makes them look like pushchair wheels





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
