Everything with my cabby is going to plan, the tech 2 kit is being prep'ed the rust pacthes are being sorted and within the next 4 weeks it'll be off to the body shop for a nice new coat of paint.

All I need to do now is choose some new wheels!
I want to sit the car on 16's so far thes are my top choice but I'm a bit stuck on where to look!

I like option 2 the best. The black breaks up all the silver.

Option 2 are so very council, almost honda civic boy racer with a 1.6!!

I like the first and last ones, makes the car look chunkier or more beefy.
