Id say the 3rd one up from the bottom, cant stand multi stud alloys. And they look like they should be on a classic rally car.

If not the KEIs, have a look at Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2

A good lightweight wheel.

I don't like multi stud fitments either. Kei are nice wheels though! As an alternative i would say either ZS mk2 wheels powder coated white, or a set of Rota wheels. I personally love the BRM wheel, but they don't look like they will fit under the big brake set up that im going to be getting.

I quite like some of the Dotz razor styled wheels, but i think people would shoot me for putting these wheels on a coupe tbh!

Thats the thing, the wheels must be able to clear the brembo setup aswell

Do like the those Superturismos though, i'll check them out

I dont mind the multi stud fitment, i quite like it, the first ones still catch my eye, i'll photoshop them lot onto the car tomorrow.

When I was looking for new wheels, low weight was a top priority.

I think my 17" OZ Ultraleggeras are lighter than the 15" SEi rims that I have fitted to both of my cars at the moment.

The car definitely felt better when I swapped from 16" Hairpins to the Ultralegs.

Only things I can find about weight for the Superturismo WRC, seems to be in line with the Legs - 4x100 17"x7" = 9.4Kgs.

What about the INovit ST6 in White?

I always liked the look of these as I think the ROTA GTR's are stunning.

Think they look like a 6 spoke version..

Going to go for the inovit ST6 myself in Gunmetal soon as funds allow.

Think of all the extra time you'll save washing them compared to the the Turismo's, 6 spoke all the way! :P

But don't those turismos just make you go 'mmmmmmmmm...'?

And they will, every time you walk out to the car and see them.

Can you live with not having that?

:P

Alternatively, if you can find a set, ZS 180 eleven spoke alloys refurbed in white, look f**king smashing on Coupés, IMO.
