   Hi all,
   
   I have decided to buy some white wheels for my Mauritious Blue Saxo. I had my eye on some Alloys but checking the price seems a bit steep at £300+
   
   Does anyone recommend white trims instead? I know these are cheaper but what is the general opinion?
   
   Or would it be better buying cheaper alloys and spraying them white? If so which ones can you recommend?
   
   Thanks in advance,
   
   Mark.

   Keep your eyes out on Ebay, whether they be white ones or a nice set and refurd them yourself and spray white. Easy enough to do as long as you take car and time.
   
   Citroen C2 GT alloys in white would look good. Had them on my Saxo. Just need some small spacers and your laughin!

    I've just put some white VTR alloys on a Mauritious blue VTR. Going to co-ordinate it with white mirror caps and badges
