Thinking of going with gold center LM reps on my Lightning Blue Clubby in conjunction with installing coilovers. I've planned on ditching the runflats since picking up the car last Sept, so figure I might as well get new wheels as well .

This is a photochop I did to see what mime would look like lowered (although this may be lower than I really want to go) with 18x8 Rota SDMs. Probably run 5-10mm spacers as well, since the offset is ET45.



My original vision for the car included silver alloys -- or *maybe* white -- because I love the contrast with the dark blue. So I changed the above to show how the silver version would look. I'm also considering Rota Subzero and BBS CS-4, both in silver.



And while I'm not a big fan of black/dark wheels on dark bodied cars, the Rotas with black center look pretty good because of the silver inner rim and brushed lip ... so I took it the final step to show that set up. (This one was tougher to mock up because I wanted the black centers to appear glossy, like the real finish).



And here's what the car would look like with just suspension and current Pace alloys ...



Finally, the original image -- i.e., as it now. 8)



Your vote?

 

GOLD. I enjoy the contrast.

 

gold all the way, i want 17" gold lms on my black mini

 

Gold. By far the best looking for sure

 

Another vote for gold, really pops with the blue. Classic combination.

 

Bit biased, but Gold all the way.....
