We've been discussing wheel colours, swapping for original se wheels and various other things over the last few days... Just thought i'd post up what i'd be inclined to do myself if i ran an '90 or similar - i'd be looking at getting some 96-98 AWI alloys from a v8. These really suit the square-ish styling of an SE in my opinion.

To show you what i mean, i've photo-shopped an image of these wheels on dave's car:



The wheels will need a minor adusting to fit, but its worth it

Just my 02p

Can't believe the difference. I've been trying to come up with a way of seeing what the wheels look like. I will definately look to do this mod in the future. For the short term, have to repaint wheels to silver. Great work Rob, you're a star!!

You're welcome in fact if anyone wants me to do anything similar on their car - ie mock up a photoshop image of what it would look like with a different set of wheels, just drop me a line with what you need and send me a pic of the car in "profile" and i'll be glad to help.

It has to be better than working
