Hi all,
Since I am keeping the focus now I have decided to throw some money and love at her and get her a new set of shoes, I have been searching and searching for a few days now and have got a few that I like but I know it's what I like that I should go for but I wanted a second opion on what you guys thought would be a better choice. 1)  2)  Both will be in 19" and will be going on a pure silver LS zetec Cheers Adrian |

My personal opinion...
Those BBS / Mesh style wheels look good on every car I've ever seen them on. Classic style. So I would go that way. And black is very popular at the moment, but may outdate very quickly. The BBS / mesh style wheels will always be around and never go out of fashion. |

I agree with LR's thinking.
I vote no 2. Additionally, with Option 1, unless you have nice big aftermarket brake calipers and discs, the look behind such an open wheel is pretty ordinary

Another for Number 2 - The style I had chosen, if only I had some cash...
With the rear though try to get a deep dish set made that have an extra inch or so, the standard wheels sit too far in the guard.

I am ordering a set of these either this weekend or the next
 19 x 8 and the correct PCD so no need to have them re-drilled. Just need to decide now how low I want to go, was thinking super lows but not sure, I need to figure out what the drop is, ie from centre of wheel to gaurd so that I make sure that they do not rub. |

If you check out the Gallery have a look at Timmeh's EURO4D. These wheels resemble the one's you've chosen but have their nuts obscured. FANTASTIC choice BTW.

i wanted mesh rims like that but i couldn't get them in a 4x108 in an 18inch. They did come in 5x108 tho.
took a few visits to the wheel shop before i found the ones i have now. I'm happy with what i ended up with tho. are you in sydney?, if so check em out www.directwheels.com.au *edit* sorry, didnt read the whole post. those are exactly what i wanted on mine. i'm jealous now.. hehe. |
