yeah i dont like them for a few reasons,

1: they are stamped wrong and hit on the guards, they are 40 offset and not 45
2: the spokes stick out further than the lip of the wheel, so i have already gutter rashed one pretty bad on my driveway

i just cant decide if to go Bronze, Silver or Chrome

Well based on the similarities in colour between the current wheels and the new bronze colour - no!! Definitely chrome or silver :)

Maybe that style of wheel doesn't lend itself well to the bronze, but I'm just not digging it. There are some photoshop masters on here, someone will be able to photoshop the new wheels and drop in ride height for you then it will give you an idea.

I guess it's probably the current 5 spoke wheels that turn me off the colour atm.

Welcome! :D Nice car. If you could get a dark charcoal BBS wheel, that'd look pretty sweet in my opinion.

Welcome. I grew up in West Wyalong so I know exactly where you are, but I haven't lived there for 10 years now.

Last time I went out there was the first time since I've had the liberty and man the roads out there are worse than I remember.
Not good if you want to lower with bigger rims.
I'm dreading my next trip out there as I should have my 19s on by then.

I'm not big on chrome either. Silver might be good in the dark colour but bronze or charcoal would probably look pretty nice.

Welcome. :D

Bronze on black is a definite winner.

My choice of those is the 11R's as I really like the design.

You'll just need the reduce the gap between tyre and wheel arch to make it all work. :wink:
