Default Black car / coloured wheels

Was thinking about changing my wheels and have always liked the Buddyclub P1SF. Was gonna go for black as below but cant get them. Can get the correct stagger and offset in white. Do you think the contrast will go. Seen a few black jap cars with white wheels and it gives it a race car look, or is the height of chavness/ bad taste. Tis only an idea so please dont hang me to dry just yet

Going 17s will give you a wider choice of tyres and a good balance between looks and handling.

found this on autotrader, Black S with white wheels, looks rather cool I think.



Black/black also works for me. But I think gold/champagne/bronze looks the best on a Black S, IMHO.

Those look like Volks - kinda pricey wheels if they are.

They are the Volks, I contacted them about swapping mine with them, but the detail pictures showed very very bad curbing ... shame

Most colours look good on black, but gunmetal may look a bit dull. I went for bronze...
