Personally I would go for the third set, I hate those wheels with 2 fitments... they just scream halfords at me! See a lot of dodgy chavs with them too. I do like the design you're going for though, maybe start a poll if you can't decide which ones you like best?

I beg you, please don't get either of the bottom two. In the pics they look good but have a look at them in 15", they look ugly as hell cos the spokes are so short. Alloy wheel pics are usually of 17" rims. I had the same problem with a set of Fox rims I wanted to get. Looked gorgous until I looke at a 15" set on a 106; instantly went off them.

HINT: Always have a look at the rims in the size your going to get before purchasing them. Could be a costly mistake. The 1st one looks good, looks slightly like the new Golf GTi rims.

being in teh Dub scene for over two years i'v seen the do's and don't on cars! If you get em you might want something a lot better after you see a lot of cars on these forums or meets etc. Believe me; my rims look sick but they're a different style to what i'm looking for these days. My aims was to have a car dark and mean as hell, hence the colour, lights, choice of rims. Now I want the same but have a euro style twist.

MOst of the quality rims are too expensive and outta my league so waited ages and saved enough cash for what i'm looking for. Hopefully soon you'll see the same look i'm going for but with rims 10times better then I already have.

Nothings worse then forking out on rims then regretting it cos you want something better.
---------------------------

The 2nd 2 rims i'v seen a lot of on crappy chavved cars in 14" (looks like they couldn't afford anything bigger). Theres a purple Micra with the last one in my area. Could always post a pic and put you off :lol:

personally i wouldn't buy any of those 3 choices. All of them are going to show your tiny drum brakes at the back and little discs at the front.

I'd look for something that will cover them up, who wants to show the world little drums?

A second hand set of Ronal Turbos maybe?

Try looking out for a set of Compomotive TH Mono's. New ones ain't available anymore as Dubmeister are getting the mould for new rims. This was my first choice but couldn't get hold of any by the time I made my decision. Put it this way; they look the absolute t**s as rims go.

Check out www.dubmeister.co.uk for the best euro style rims. They'l look much better then anything you'l find at shops.

Best thing to do if your drums show is to get them painted black. For the front its a different problem; crap little discs so its best to get sports discs and pads. I went all out and got Black Diamond cut/grooved performance discs with pads, set me back £170 but worth the performance and the gorgeous view :lol:

Choosing the kind of sets from this site would turn heads a lot more then any of those alloys you showed :wink:

I saw those Katana's on an RX8 yesterday, and they looked s**t hot. But then again an RX8 is slightly different to a polo...

I love the TH's but I also want to show off the discs etc. Guess your looking for them multi-spoke rims? Guessing you don't like the dishes either?
