They look good, but seriously, make up your mind. How many wheel threads have you put up?

Nothing to be sorry about, or atleast I don't think so. I was joking with the refferal to how many threads you have started on wheels, who cares. But you have been posting threads for a while in relation to this topic, there are a bucket load of different options for the AU, these look good, but so have most of the previous ones you have suggested. Just pick the ones you like and go for it, or you could take Bluedrivers aproach and change wheels everytime you change your jocks.

oh ok, I retract my last statement lol , yeah just trying them on, rather than buying them and not liking them, i photoshop them and see if they look ok, and these wheels are new out, I tried the genuine super pursuit rims but they looked to chunky, these look good.

I think they look pretty good. They way they open up towards the outer rim works well with the rest of the car.

That's a good point. That's something I learnt after photoshopping my wheels on mine and then actually putting them on. I was going to suggest you'd want to then put in bigger brake rotors like I want to.

maybe 19" kaotics?
I have slotted and cross drilled rotors on at the moment, they are dba 4000 series. and big red PBR calipers, I recon it would look alright. |

And the mags in the first post look awful compared to the kaotics (IMO).

You might want to photoshop some rubber onto those rims, I dont think alloy to bitumen contact is either legal or advisable
