Ok i am stupid and don't know how to put on a pic but i want some wheels advice. I own the old avenger that was featured in retro cars mag(in the gallery somewhere on here. Basic question is do i get some 15" motorsport wheels and paint black and sit them in further giving a better ground clearance and therefore more usable or stick with the 7"x13" but paint black center with the band done red/orange to match the car? Any thoughts much appreciated and any photo shop. Thanks in advance  |

;D Simultaneous pic posting, lol It's a very nice looking car to start with, so a bit tricky really. Not sure on the 15" rims idea. Black centres on the existing rims (Superlites?) would very likely work well, orange rim not sure, would maybe be too much? Quarter bumpers might work OK, although I prefer the full width as it is now. Not much help from here then. |

What they said, sav especially. centres painted body colour be good ? |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

If it was mine I think I would lose the badges and the over-riders and change the wheels to something other than Superlites,maybe some ATS Classics, but it's already a super cool car so hopefully you can't go far wrong with whatever you choose to do. |

Actually, why not try find some turbo vec/fin wheels and add a race number and a flag on roof, that'd be coool   |

Sorry to disappoint guy's but definately no flag going on the roof.
going to make a start on one of the wheels tomorrow at my mates shop and see how they turn out, thankyou for the photoshop stuff i absolutely love the black center coloured rim look, you just confirmed it.
want some ats but that is for the daily ride polo coupe gti steels still look too big.
