Ive seen them in the flesh, good looking wheel. Might be prejudiced but the clubbie ones dont look nearly as good.

The GTP 19's are the best looking rim in the BA catalogue, closely followed by the MK1 GTP 18's, then the XR 18's. Blood orange is a bit tricky to match to a rim design, unlike the darker colours which are easily complimented by most "big & shiny" rims!

MK1 GT's would look 10 times better than those on your car. Try it & see.

I like the GT-P ones. You should get a chop of F6 rims on it. Another set that suits the orange are the herrod BBS motorsport 19's.

Those MKII GT rims look just like the ones i photoshopped onto MadManz car. Where did your brother get the photos from for the wheels??

(I know the wheels are the same, but they look like they were out of my photochop)

What about GT-P MK 1 wheels? They look pretty cool.

Cheers, Danny

They are actually GT rims on it now, and they are pretty weak looking IMO. The MK1 GTP rims are much cleaner looking, and certainly look their size, unlike the GT rims. :
