Hi I've been trying to decide what wheels I should go for or should I leave what I have? Help!!!
I have a 1990 Macao blue Motorsport currently with 17" Azevs.
The normal thing to do is get a nice set of 15" bbs with nagaro silver centers. But I've been thinking of getting the 17" bbs reps and getting those centers sprayed nagaro silver. Front 7.5 and rears 8.5. What you guys think? Anyone have any pics if so please post them up?
any suggestions welcome thanks

Speak to Matt at stanced uk, get yourself some Dare D-RS, BBS RS reps, 16x8 fronts, 16x9 rears with a bit of stretch going on

You got money to buy a real Motorsport but you haven't got money to buy real splits.

Don't put reps on a motorsport :(

well first of all id ditch 17" , dare rs 16s would be good choice , there made fairly well unlike alot of cheese out there .

But as kangman suggests , if you can afford go for the real deal .

I can never understand these threads.

Your car, your choice.

But for what it's worth, if its a genuine motorsport? Don't f*** it over like so many have done. Keep the value in the car and keep it original is my tip.

Normally I'd agree, but a change of wheels isn't the end of the world - an hours work and its back to standard.

If it were my money, for the price of BBS splits, I'd get the 16" Dares (although IMO 7" front, 8" back) and a set of original 15"s.

Whatever you like, but leave the arches alone!
IMO, at least.
