I've been struggling picking a set of 17" for our roadster that should arrive in two weeks.
What wheels would you see on this roadster to make it extra special?

This is close to what we ordered except for the wheels (we got the 16" standards)



I'm going to replace the brake vent and rear light with chrome pieces so it looks more like this color wise:






I'm considering some silver R112 but everyone seems to be running them on the roadster... nothing wrong with that. I like them very much, but I which I could get something that complement the color scheme the best.

There's an other option for the UK, Cades wheels, but they are 10.2kg (22.48lb):





FYI, I'm not opposed to black but I'd like the car to be bright and peppy

 

Doing a little Photoshop tonight. Be forgiving, it's really hard to find imagery that matches car angle...

Last attempt on this part of the forum . . .
I think I know what you are all going to say but let see if I'm right or wrong:

 

Black 1552 Tarmacs.

 

A bit too tuner like for my taste but thx for proposing an alternative !

 

Some choices in 17"


Breyton Race GTS-R Silver
17x7" et 40 17.6 lbs $249 each


O.Z. Ultraleggera Silver
17x7" et37 15.9 lbs $280 each

 

I've seen those on Tirerack of course. They are nice and light! but they are a bit over sculpted for the car imo

 

What is your budget?
