I really like the second set but i think the red rim makes the wheel look a little small. One damn fine looking coupe you have there cool thumb

Thanks for all the input and compliments.

Think I will go with the dark ones.
I have never been a fan of straying from the original
but some of the pics of members cars would make your mouth water.

Thsanks again

I agree, looks good but leave out the red rim as it emphasises the small wheel size. The holy grail would be the original design (which ever colour) in 17' in my humble opinion (IMHO)
