Default Right, which wheels?????
I now have to make a decision!

I can get these for around £850 with tyres

Prodive GT1's

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...h_IMG_4661.jpg



or

these, for £1200 with tyres.

S204 BBS

http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...ONES204013.jpg

I know the BBS ones are probably the better wheel, but as I previously said, I still like my car with darker wheels.

Decisions!!!!!!

Depends what look you are going for, if you are looking for a mean ass rally look I'd go with the Prodrives, I'd say the BBS are more suited for that 'drift car' look as they look awsome when they are wide i.e 9.5J.

Personally I'd go with some dark Rota Torque's on yours. I have seen them on a few Hawk eyes and they give me the horn!

Just my opinion- I'm sure your car will look savage whatever you go with mate

I am leaning towards the prodrives I think. It would be criminal to paint those BBs ones!!.

Cool Tim. Well I think I'm going to get those now. Hopefully can get them this week and on for Sunday. I seem to remember saying I wouldnt get these as I didnt want the car to become and RB320 replica, but TBH, I think they are one of the nicest wheels for the Hawkeye, so sod it!.

They won't look any different from the 17s (apart from the obvious) as they have virtually the same rolling diameter.

Enjoy them

(I thought the S204 wheels looked great too, but would have suited my car better )

You are right phil, the S204's would look perfect on crystal grey or silver. I didn't really want to come away from dark wheels on the black as I love the stealthy look!. How's the old girl going by the way, has it done any miles this year

Oh yes, it'll be a high mileage year for me. Over 1,100 since April! Up to my son's place in London a few times, Silverstone, Brands - I'm going wild
