    Default new rims, what to get?

    hey all, i plan to eventually get a set of rims for my VR acclaim, i already have 17 clubby's on, but they are a lil too gutter rashed/chipped for my liking.

    i was thinking of these, from Speedy Wheels. I local tyre mob orders from this company, and i know the owner quite well, could probably get a discount haha.



    something like this, but what size would look good? 17's or 18's

    heres my car:

    I have those wheels on my VR. IMO they are nice, not too blingy, but nice and simple and looks clean.

    yeah they do look good, but up close, and on one it has real bad gutter rash all round and across the spokes, the spare is just shocking lol
