There's plenty of wrecked '04-ons with good wheels.

Not so sure about that.. Tried one breakers and they had 2 rears. They said they rarely get a good full set so its the norm to buy the odd wheels and build a full set. Didn't really fancy doing that.

Emailed PerformanceAlloys about some 17" Ultraleggera's today and apparently 18"s are the only ones that fit

This set me back on to Rota's again and found a topic about the slipstreams with some very nice looking Slipstreams: Link

So I then went on to Rarerims and played about with their virtual fitting bay...

Virtual Wheel whoring:

Boost-Steelgrey


Slipstream-Gunmetal


Slipstream-Flatblack


Slipstream-Polished


Slipstream-Steelgrey


Torque-Gunmetal


Torque-Silver


Answers on a postcard For me I'm leaning towards the Torque in silver..

Check the weight and fitment before you decide on a look

Boost in steel grey for me. Six spokes look very clean and are the Rota's are similar to the original JDM BBS wheels which remain one of my favourites despite only being available in 16"

Is that boosts in your photo's s2ook? Has the car been lowered?
