I'm sure I'll end up with several sets of wheels for this car, but I had to start somewhere. Mike (6Freak) had loaned me a set of steels from his collection, but I was needing something wider to fill up the wheelwells.
They are Revolutions and I thought they matched the car so well. I have know idea what tires I'm putting on them. Any suggestion on sizes. All four wheels are 16x8. Maybe I need to paint them orange or just the star should be painted.  |

I like those wheels. If I didn't allready have 3 other sets of wheels. I would have bought them myself. Well that & I'd need flares. They will look nice on your car for sure. I kind of like some Pheonix red on them in some way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

How about a set of BBS RA 16 x 8/9 with 225/50 & 245/45 tires to really fill out the wheel wells?
Vintage wheels still with their original finish. I am thinning out my collection. (IMG:http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e143/AlkiBMW/BBS/BBSRS.jpg) Regards, Eddie |

I have Revolution RFX wheels on my car, 15 x 6.5, black centers with a polished rim as supplied by Revolution. When I see other cars with this type wheel I always compare them with mine and I have concluded that I like solid silver the best. I find the black centers tend to make the wheel look smaller in diameter and make the somewhat strange spoke design look funky. But they have been good wheels and are doing their job well.
I vote keep the wheels silver. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
