Posted up a topic about spacers and fitments etc, I'm gonna replace my current alloy wheels with replacement 17's, currently got Wolfrace ones and I'm choosing between these 2,

or Image

so what u guys think?

the first one will need a spacer but the 2nd one will fit direct without spacers.

Both nice wheels but I t of think multi spokes are best as they never date. Lots of people with Alpina replica's and they all look superb.

I'm currently debating whether to go from 14" bbs to some tasty 15" mim 1900's. The only thing holding me back is i recently spent E500 on new rubber for the bbs.
