Default Which wheels do you think will look awesome on my Burgandy AU1?

Hey everyone!

Well it has came the time for me to upgrade my wheels, i have always wanted 18's and i feel like a change from my 17's.
With the wheels i have at the moment it was a spur of the moment decision and i didnt look into it enough, like i basically picked the first set of wheels i saw because i needed them for a roadworthy. Which worked out ok but i still want to go bigger


Now the big decision is to decide on which wheels i would like...
I was thinking something chrome, or something like the typhoon ones, or the 40th anniversary gt wheels or the 18" BA XR8 wheels.

I don't want to spend over $900 on a wheel and tyre package, second hand seems the way to go and i want the tyres with a decent amount of tread.

For some reason photobucket isnt working :
so ill try again later tonight to get a photo up.
But my aviator has a photo of my car.

Thanks guys much appreciated

Thanks guys for the hand!

Yeah nah i like the gold ones, but yeah i put stockies on my car with hubcaps so it looks less drug-runner but they have next to no tread so yeah ill see how long i can resist driving it before i impuse-buy on some 18's.
Thing is i don't want to spare an arm and a leg to get some 18's.

So i thinking of the BA XR8 ones because they are relatively easy to find and look awesome on the AU's. i'll photoshop them and the gold ones on my car soon when i get a spare half hour (damn vce exams)

Cheers guys.
