white 17" monzas on a white 185? I just can't picture what they'd look like and the "buying car bits bug" has bitten again despite me not having the car here :D

You not got the photochop, cut and paste thing that would do it? ;) (technical terms there)

Could, but my artistic impressionism often makes things look better than they really are lol.

Here's one quick chop that I did, looks a little funny as the picture of the wheels was a higher res photo of the car, tires are actually drawn

And heres a slightly different version, this time using the same tires as the original pic, and the resolution of the wheels altered to try and match the original pic

I couldn't do too much due to the poor quality of the original pic  ;D but it should you a rough idea

Hmmm bottom one looks more realistic, but I'm torn on the multi-spoke look. Maybe white isnt best. Baby blue? :D

yeah i did the first one, though it looked a bit odd so then came up with the second one. Baby blue? Umm I hope not!  ;D

I remember reading in one of your other posts, you were thinking of painting the two bonnet vents and the scoop insert thingy black, I think that and some graphite/charcoal wheels would look pretty mint.

Only problem I have with dark wheels is they tend to look like old steelies, or like you have no wheels on at all :D

I saw a car the other day that had awesome looking wheels. They were two piece wheels, with a polished aluminium rim, anodised charcoal/black spokes, and red anodised looking bolts securing the two parts together. At least thats what it looked like, and the spokes were the type that start off as one from the centre, and branch into two spokes that go to the rim, if that made any sense.
