I need help choosing my next wheels for my car...
I tempted by banded steels but I also like the generic deep dish BBS look... This is my car as it stands, bearing in mind I have sold these wheels now and they need replacing...

I want something 15" because I've gone off big wheels, I don't mind how wide they are either.

Thanks

Baha'i don't want to hear that! That's what my girl said! I fancy a change, there's nothing decent on eBay or gumtree at the moment, so I guess it's down to the zone to source me some trendy shoes!

I like those LS wheels.... Anyone got a second hand set? I bought my last wheels brand new and I was terrified of bending them, so if I buy second hand it's not so bad if I knock them! Haha
