I'll chime in with 16x7 Fuchs (or Euromeister reps as in my case w/ R888Rs on them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )

I could not agree more.

Late to the thread, sorry if I repeat anything.

One of the most-hated (therefore cheap) wheels is the Riviera. They look sick blacked out (keep the rims bright). Do it right and even the experts will ask you what they are.

No – because it’s obvious that these are the best looking wheel choice!Attached Image

Haha- love how that picnic consists of a few bananas, a loaf of bread, bottle of wine and a full keg. No blankets though....

Seems like almost all the wheel options have been shared. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Here is another one, magnesium MOMO. Only 914 picture I could find online, not my car, but had these on my Beetle 30 years ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Impact bumpers at their best with a black car. Polished Mahles really pop and the long bumper gives a unique profile with hints of Alfa spider. Beauty!

I had never seen these before, but there's a set for sale on Facebook. They are 14", but the seller is in Spain and seems reluctant to ship. I think they'd look great refurbished with maybe a gunmetal powder coat inner.

I'm a fan of these Rinasa wheels too......with the right powdercoating, I think they would look great on the right car. A guy in Colorado Springs has a set of these for sale right now on Craigslist.

Stumbled across some narrow body wheel options - for those with 5 lug hubs - that I didn't know existed until recently; thought I'd share with the world and add into this thread:

http://iozziowheels.com

No affiliation, but I've seen some up close on a VW and they are VERY nice.

- made in USA
- 5x130 bolt pattern, width options from 5.5" and up
- 17" or 18" options
- 2 or 3-piece construction
- many custom options

Fuch-like and another classic design are the main choices. I believe the "coming soon" ones may be a take on the Mahle (see pic), but not officially on the website .... no idea on pricing. Anyway, FYI.

Deep sixes or flat 6 x 15 look proper too.
