Not sure mate they both seem quite run of the mill what would be good would be something totally different that's not been done before.

i would like to see some designed with out curbing repair issues so the spokes were like a deep dish but not too deep
say about half an inch in this way only the rim would get curbed not the spokes

After a long day yesterday (nearly 5hrs to get home from Exeter). We trial fitted a couple of wheels from the stock they had. 18s were far too small and they don't do 20s yet
These are the top 3 designs I liked
These I'd like with the inner faces done a darker colour to allow the spokes to stand out a bit better
This is the same as Regal have on their VXR but in a different colour
Opinions appreciated

i like pic one very much but the multiply holes do not really get my vote but the third one wins for me
you would need a 19 inch minimum on the GTC but 18 would work on the j
but as the 20 inch look so good on the VXR it is a must really

The centre would be drilled to the correct pcd not multihole also the offset will be changed to approx 36 allowing the wheel to sit further out. I prefer pic 1 as the spokes don't protrude pass the lip. 20s are in the pipeline but along way down the road.
The company I went to many deal with Japanese cars but want to widen their market

The only ones we trial fitted were 1 and 4. We did get some good measurements I know I can from a 41 offset to a 36 without any problems maybe even down to a 34 offset

Rears deep dish fronts normal I suggest... maybe style them similar to BBS ones.
The rear arch bulk out the car so deep rear alloys would suit it well.

Nice but spokes a bit too thin, bit thicker and would look better in my opinion.

Wheel 3 for me.
At that price they must be made of GOLD. But then that would be too soft.
