To many choices ,made my mind up to get some new wheels but not sure what to go for,
going to get them from image wheels some type of split rim i have uploaded a photo of the car they will be going on to give an idea
old school or modern the only thing i have decided on is outer polished rim, the rim bolts in the middle section, which will be painted, less to polish what are your thoughts

I think the image version of the revolution rfx 5 spoke is a good looking chunky easy to clean wheel. Grey centre so you can sell them on or colour coded to your car as per the oz type.
What diameter and widths are you thinking about?

The thing about wheels is that however good or bad your taste, it's a simple matter to change them back to the old ones, and the car is magically back to the unspoilt original.

So - go for it!

Well it's not an Oz upside-down shot so I am guessing you parked up somewhere on the equator? Ecuador maybe?

Anyhoo they look pretty good in my eyes and not a million miles different to OZ split rims, so in keeping with the car.

They are similar to the Mercedes Penta wheels...someone did fit those to a Wedge and they looked cool...I still love the lattice...I think Oliver got it right..yes

I prefer them colour coded as well...

Wasn't my decision, but I think colour coded Oz works very well.

The image wheels fitted to the factory race car look great.. (also fitted to the Ultima)
