Hi all

I know getting wheels to fit the Starion can be a pain... i mean 'challenge' but im not sure what i want to start searching for anyway...

I've a link here which shows my car sporting various alloy wheel combo's, the first pic is how the car looks now, the rest have been done on a UK alloy wheel website. I suspect many of the designs wouldn't fit but whats the thoughts on colours in general?

I think im leaning towards white or gold...

The red ones!!!
And a red stripe with the turbologo...

Not gold with a white car.

My vote goes to red with the dish.

Or the gold... Both look pretty damn nice :)

The white multispoke, the radial look. They stand out because they're big.

Starions look best with dish, my opinion.. Which works well because of the very low offset they use.

^ agreed. The trick is finding the wheels without having to sell a kidney.

There are shitloads of new wheels coming out now in 4x114.3 with close to zero offset, I might start a thread listing them all.. Otomoto are just about to release a 16x9 zero offset meshie that looks quite tasty..

So due to some additional bills in my life, new Alloy's are on hold for now, but still thinking he car needs a little something else i opted for this.....

what you guys think?

Its only the first coat and it will need several more (and a bit neater) if i decide to stick with it.

I like it though... looks proper 80's now (in my opinion)!
