for a long time now ive had the classic small chrome ones sitting over the classic small plastic ones.

I dont want massive ones but i know at a certain size you have to make modifications to the bodywork (which I dont want to do). So what size would look good and doesnt need modifications? (link please)

Also im not sure what colour to paint them, the cars theme is electric blue, checker and shiny... so a safe bet would be to go for electric blue but anyone got any other ideas?


thanks

you havent stated what wheels you are using....if you have 12x5 for instance then group 2's....12x6 - group 5 euros.....13x7 - sportspack

thats just my opinion buts its all down to personel choice, hope its been some help..

5.5 wide are the widest you can go without modifications but that depends on the offset of the wheel

as above although i think hudderfield are claiming they have a 12x6 superlight that wont require mods if everything is std
