    Which wheels look best ?

    I need your help please guys. I have got two sets of wheels for the VR-4 and we have decided to sell one set. But we really cannot decide which ones we prefer. So it's time for a poll. Which wheels do YOU think look best on the car.

    Both sets at 17".

    Option 1: Oz Superleggera 17 x 7 (first two photos). These were the ones fitted to the car at Japfest on Saturday.

    Option 2: EVO VI wheels (also Oz Racing) 17 x 7.5 (second two photos). These are recently refurbished and are like new.

    if i had to choose, it would be first (which i voted) primarily cos there are less spokes to clean.

    Dented trashcan! LOL
     
    I like them both, the 1st set go with the simple clean look of the car, the second set make the car look a bit sharper as they are so much busier to look at.
    Hope that helps mate.

    Wot he said. Then maybe get the calipres to stand out a bit more, it'd look really purposeful.

    What about...the wedsport TC-005's on pistonheads? Then your car will have at least one thing in common with the ultimate VR-4 - mine

    Nope. It's not you. The rear quarter panels are a totally different colour.

    They actually don't look too bad in the flesh but they do really stand out in those photos don't they ...

    It's getting sorted before the end of the year ...

    One thing I have realised is not coming across in these photos is the stance of the car on the EVO VI wheels.

    The Superlegs are 7" wide wheels with an ET45 offset.

    The EVO VI wheels are 7.5" wide with an ET38 offset.

    Which means the EVO VI wheels sit out much further on the car than the Superlegs, giving the car a "fatter" look ... which I like ...

    The only problem is I am not sure whether the arches would rub if I kept the EVO VI wheels as they do sit slightly prude of the front arches ...

    you've seen how low my car is, and ive got them 235/45/17's now - as a test the other night, i went round this ever increasing left hand corner - doing about 40 into it and 90 out of it.. no rubbage....

    although, im not sure what would happen if i chucked it round a corner, or a roundabout yet....
