If you want to keep the sporty look to you car chose a 5 spoke rim with a big dish, If you want to keep it a luxury car a 7 or 8 spoke rim, the was i chose my rims is that i used a program to super inposed the rim on my car took a long time but i chose the right one in the end. post a pic of you car and this will help other people to give you advice.

Dean_jely, best suggestion for ya.
Take your car down to any mag shop and check out the wheels you like, then ask them to take it out and sit the rim where your wheel is, and step back to check it out.
They all will do that, but don't waste too much of there time trying too many rim designs.
Very hard to go by a picture only.
Another idea to add to that, take photos of the car with the different rims so you can go home and chop it around with different colours etc...
Good luck.

But style wise... other than that ugly ass one u showed...

A 5spoke black rim with a chrome dish would look nice!

If you get these rims a zebra will hump your car. Go deep dish for sure but choose a different design lol

on the subject of rims...reckon these gunmetal greys with the nice polished dish would suit my vx s pack in black...i reckon the grey would go fairly well.

and has anyoe got bboss eleanors? i loved them for ages, but then suddenly they looked too spokey.

(got the photo from the hpdesignwheels site, hpr5's)

there kind of similar.. i just also got my car lowered.. so hopefuly i can get some pics of my car up to send you to give you an idea..

but one thing i dislike about my rims is that at night you cannot see the black spokes only the machined silver(its not chrome its machined big dif i find)

but yea all depends on what look your going for black or gun metal dish is nice with machined lip.

i'll get back to you with some pics of my car if u still want.


PS: No zebra has humped my car yet!
