Agreed 15's for handling but not sure on the look... the right kinda wheels you'd need to look into are any E30 BMW style really... MIM's, BBS, etc

Yeah I was thinking about that, luckily my brother in law and my brother have quite a few e30's so they have a few bbs in the shed, at one point he had some borbet a's? I think that's the name isn't it? And I wanted to buy them but didn't have enough money.
Also I've got some 15 inch 480 gt "vesa" alloys they look abit like bbs but they don't have a lip on them will probably have them on at one point

They definitely look good, IIRC Pete Farrell had them on his white 360 ... I'll see if I can come up with a pic later.

Get the Leo's back on Theo
That white one above certainly does look good on those wheels, what are they from a 480Gt/Turbo?

Indeed they do, shame it's only a pair though. There's a few sets of cool cheap wheels going on ebay at the moment for little money, i'm keeping an eye on a set. Although i don't need more they are well cheap so shall have to see what happens.

Again apologys been working away with no means of replying.
Finding the bargains is half the fun

, i can spend a good few hours just trawling through the ebay wheel section with different search combos. Being so lazy though i never log in so i can't click to "watch item", maybe i should start though.
The cheap wheels in question i was eying up were some rarely seen "Dartboard" style rims (not Ronals though), said to be from a Vauxhall but i'm pretty sure they weren't OEM, in 13x7 flavour IIRC. They had a day left with no bids and starting price of £40, should have placed a bid really
