Have you worked out your ET on the fronts yet or are you waiting until you fit the front wishbones?
Are you keeping the same dims for the rear wheels?
Your choice might be limited (spacers may be required) if not none for monoblock wheels and also limited for 2/3 piece split rims, just a case of seeing what you like and phoning around and seeing whose willing to make them with your required ET.

I bought a set of Braid F1 Forged wheels from the factory, I wanted to buy from Mac G as they were really helpful but in the end bottom line was the factory were over £650 cheaper for the set.
ezakimak That's for a set.
The Braid TCT are considerably cheaper ± £2000(inc. VAT) for a set, I considered these but decided on the stronger forged wheel, again the factory were about £250 cheaper per set.

It's strange, I'm not really old yet (only for my kids), but I always prefer the old version of the factory wheels.
They are part of the identity of the Ultima, giving a badass feel to the car, and they are quite unique now on the road compare to all the other ones, which we can see on every series sport cars.

Have you seen the price of them now?
I love my forgelines, but don't think I'd pay what they cost nowadays....
Dom, have you seen Dave Hodges wheels? They're lovely, suit the car well, look modern and are good quality. Dave, hope you don't mind
