   Right, looking at getting a set of alloys next month and cant decide which ones, I have black VTR MK2 Which would be lowered 50mm and i was thinking of 16" GOLD rims (with gold badges/chevrons etc) as its a little different. What you reckon to these and which do you like, if any....

    i like gold wheels on cars they can they either make or brake it, so as long as you dont go over board with gold bits it should look class.

    last or second last
    go for it mate, i think it would lokk shit of you just did the wheels and nothing else but if you have a theme going then it will be mint
    if you like the multispoke look have you considered bbs wheels?
    not sure if they'd fit tho
