18*7.5 KSpeed Seifer

18*8.5-9.5 Starcorp Racing Impul - White


Would look good. Slightly higher price but nice!

nope, can't help you.
One thing I've learnt whilst being on this site is that its YOUR vehicle. do what you like. some will agree, others wont. you are the one who pays out the big bucks and you are the one who is seen cruising around, go with what you want. As an example, I don't like "spoke" type mags. most mags today are spoked. I'm very old skool, chromies and 12 slotters are my favourite, but they sure aren't everyone elses.
get someone on here to photoshop some of your choices, that always looks good and that may help you, which I think would be better than someone elses opinion.
hey, buts that just my opinion.

Yeah I agree with thefargo, get what you think looks best.

I personally Love the standard 18's on BA MKII XR's. The five spoked with a thin groove on each spoke about 5cm long.

I really like the 18*7.5 KSpeed Seifer, they're expensive though.

I reckon the Kaotik Shadows would look sweet, but make sure you lower it at the same time, otherwise it would look out of proportion with 18s.

18*8.5 Starcorp Racing Tracer2 - Shadow - Gotta love the dish

18*7.5 Incubus Paranormal - something different...

They are my two top picks out of that selection
