    My VIN:    03238 Grey & Black Hybrid - Auto - work in progress Former owner 10902 - Universal 93 Raffle Car

    I'm not a big fan of a lot of the aftermarket wheels, but the two tone ones aren't bad. I've notice that BMWs run wheels similar to ours with regard to styling, straight spokes and thin, but not as many spokes as ours. I could go that way some day maybe.

    The two tone ones might look really nice too, but I'd need to see them on the car in person. I've just seen two many appearance options that look one way in a photo and another in real life. Totally an emotional response, I know.

    Not sure. I tried to figure that out myself. My best guess would be 18's. I think you would be hard pressed to fit anything larger than that in the front with the car that low.

    It also looks to me that the front rims are the same size as the rears. Personally, I think it looks better if you keep with the original theme with larger rears than fronts. But thats just my opinion.

    Aren't those the ones they were experimenting with for low-profile tires? I don't believe they've ever been made available to the public. I generally like the design of them, but don't like the bright aluminum look to them- they're too much brighter than the car itself.

    The mysteries Red D with aftermarket wheels.
    These look like the Konigs that I have on my RX-7 convertible. I love the wheels on it, but am not as fond of them on the D...

    What do you guys have??

    This is something I always thought of but could never find anything I liked. I love the factory wheels with the light grey color, I always thought the dark grey looked more purple then grey lol

    These don't look too bad... But I agree they are too bright... To me nothing beats the factory wheels ( with the balancing weights on the inside)

    I'm a huge fan of anthracite wheels, probably with a polished lip.

    John, what brand wheels are they?
