a little project...

Hi ppl
Heres a pic of a recent project - a 323 chromie with a subtle mod...
I had the arches flared and am now in a fix regarding rims.
Its running on 9 X 17 keskins but i dont think they do the car justice, esp up front
Ideally i would want to get 9 X 17s rear n 9 x 16s on the front - has anyone run this before, and if so any problems?
Also, what rims do YOU think would suit this?
(had my eye on some modernlines but missed them......)

Loving this, the rims dont look bad i hear what your saying.
Maybe some orig alpina's, bbs splits or Mims would all look cool under those archs
What colour is that?

I got some mim 1900s before the arch work was done but now they look too small! hence will be up for sale soon....

lol - yeah man. get my black one back on the road, and I can come back to this forum! Just clicked on your post completely by chance.
Good you finally put it on the forum - someone will hit the nail on the head for the wheels, but ill say it too - old skool set of deep dish BBS splitties cant be beaten, and would look phat for that look.
Were not all that lucky, or rich, but you never know...
Take care dude.
