	I'm this close to putting the Lupo up for sale, as I'm working from home and can stand to have something a bit older now. I want an Imp, Low, on tucked 17" Momo Arrows. I want one bad! I've got the lupo for sale advert written and everything. There is just something about a huge contrasting rims that looks great on a car if the stance is right.. For example: Also, is anyone good enough with photshop to do what I've been trying all afternoon?

	Cheers for that - I like.... Maybe less poke? Imps are et15, whereas Arrows tend to be et35, so I's hope they would sit nicely un the arch (with 185/35/17s to make them the same overall as 185/60/13s)

	I just tried to line them up with the already fitted wheels and tyres so tuck etc is probs a tad exaggerated could work out though

	Needs to be done! I like the idea of going for wheels 4" bigger than everybody else runs. Matt

	This is the current trend in Oz. Big diameter, big dish rims on cars sitting as low as possible. Done right it looks more than tasty. This is a ZA Fairlane (late 60's), basically an XR-XY Falcon with a different nosecone and larger boot.

	no please no! Please don't! I think retro's look shocking with modern alloys. An example: Leave the arrows for an e30! Buy an e30 instead of a imp

	Something like mine? Wheels are a lot newer than the car, and a bit bigger than most people have on their kadett. (i have 15" most have 13")

	With a huge drop it'd work. Tucking wheels that are 3" bigger than everyone else's is the way forward
