Alloys Choice Help pick out my new wheels - thanks!

psykik · 1st October 2007, 12:33

Shortlisted some 18" wheels below, which ones do you think look best on a NHB Type S GT?

Prices quoted are cheapest ive found (rochford tyres unless stated), with budget tyres included - obviously i'll be picking some choices wheels like bridgestones etc. If you've found the wheels cheaper elsewhere, let me know as im buying this week.

Which ones do you think is best? Thanks

I like the 3-Aez Excite Dark 18" £830 (rochford) & the 1-Oz Canova Black 18" £975 Larkspeed.com

I reckon type 3. Should look awesome on a NHB Type S GT.

The curve of the wheel design, black and chrome. Ace.

Just wanted to say a big THANKS to all who helped me make a choice

I went for Oz Canova's in 18" on RE050's in the end. At £1200 inc fitting and locking wheel nuts, think i got myself a billy bargain, as ringing around today i was quoted elsewhere £1325-£1675!! (yes £1675!)

Getting em fitted on Friday! I just can't wait!
