Which of these billet wheels would suit a Thirdgen GTA?
I was looking for some opinions on the billet wheels available from a company here in the UK called Image Wheels. There website is http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/pages/billet.html
I'd appreciate it if some of you guys could take a look at their site and post opinions about specific wheels available there, in reference to how good they would look on a GTA. Which would be best?
Some of you will no doubt know that Powermite has billet wheels from this company, and I know there are a lot of guys on this board who love his car. He has 10”x18” Rears with 275/40's
, and 9”x18” fronts with 265/40 x18” Bridgestone.
A pic of Powermites wheels is attached below:-

I like the wheels in the pic you posted. If you notice, the #61 in your link looks very similar to the Firehawk rim...hmmmmm.
I really only like those two, and IMHO, they need to be painted. I don't like the billet/polished/chrome look on the WHOLE wheel.

I agree number 61 is rather nice.
I think that the gold painted finish might be best on the GTA.
5, 40, 47, 61 and 85 are all nice in their own ways. Which of these do you guys like/dislike?
I think PM's are L5 in this link http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/pages/cast.html for anyone interested.

problem is that site has different lug patterns so the rims don't look anything like what they should. also, a reverse mount with a more flat deep dish design would really clean up the wheels. if they are a true 3 piece design.
there are 5 on the site that are very comparable to the more common options here in the states that i think would look great. it's all on preference.

depends if your going to go with the billet or cast option.
the billet is the way to go and personally out of the ones shown i think 2, 26, 34, 35 and maybe 47 all would look good. their pictures are of rims much smaller and often different lug and offset but with the right measurement and size at least 17" they would look good.
the L5, rsk and vm would also look nice but they are cast setups.
all the examples above are based off of popular wheels here in the states so it would be easy to find examples of them on vehicles to get a better idea of what you like.

probably because your going off of the picture you see in which case i would agree. just about all of those wheels can be found in duplicate through any major wheel company here in the state and most are very popular. except for a few choice ones which i'm sure we all can see.
