Got these wheels off Templ8e30 (cheers Iain ). Ideally could do with a refurb but then they'd look out of place on what is, to be fair to it, a bit of a dog of a car . Eventually will get them done along with the dozens of other jobs that need doing but not sure whether to go with black spokes or all silver. What d'ya reckon?

BTW Iain's 2.7 is absolutely stunning. It goes like stink, sounds like a bm should and feels great to drive. Cheers for the blat mate Trouble is you've made me appreciate how slow the iS really is. The quest for power has begun but an engine conversion seems the best way to go. Where can I get an s14 lump from? [/img]

Black, especially on a red car

Nice motor mate, are u going to add side skirts?

Looks great. Definately black wheels with a polished lip on a red car. Looks ace.

nice car mate yeh black spokes with polished lip is your way forward

I'd go with black centres too, i'm planning on getting some 15"bbs and doing the same thing

Get some se skirts and colour that kidney grill black and your away..

Any front fogs buddy??

Pal

This is one of mine 1/2 finshed. I say silver.

ive been considering these wheels... are they heavier then bottlecaps/basketweaves?

Nah, i prefer the look without skirts, yamma yamma yamma.

Been thinking about black kidneys but think it might be too much black. Maybe needs something to break up the front a bit, carbon could be an option. There's a job for my next days off. Would need some other carbon bits though. New splitter possibly?
No front fogs, have had numerous blanking plates but they keep falling out, usually on the M62.

Not weighed them but if anything they feel a bit lighter than my old 14 inch cross spokes. Could just be wishful thinking though.

id also go for black with polished rims the silver do suit a silver car ed325i but i reckon the black spokes will suit a red car best

I really want a set of 15" MIMs, but don't see any for sale ever

Always wanted mine in anthracite so i refurbed them, but now don't really like em lol

Did a mock up and gonna do my spare set with a polished/silver dish and black center.

Do these come up on eBay often at all? I've been keeping an eye out for a couple months but with no finds really. What kinda price do people pay for 'em?

Here your bush is a bit posh

Awesome wheels I've had a couple of sets of these, sold them cheap a few years ago and now I want a set for my Touring cant find any

Just spotted this thread Matt, looking good

Cheers,

Iain T
