What's yours sitting on ?

So,

It's that time of year when my rims are beginning to look a litte sad. I am still trying to decide whether or not to refurb or buy new. This got me thinking, the evo is a pretty unique looking car and personally rims will either 'kill' a car or make it truly stand out.

So, I'm interested, as to what peoples preferences are:

16's, 17's or 18's?
Multispoke?
Colour?
Manufacturer?
Rally style or bling ?

I have a friend with a Reims blue VI, he's gone with 18" gloss black multispoke wheels and they look awesome :muhaha: .
Me? My white VI sports a set of white 17" 6 spoke AVS's which suit the car down to the ground, although people keep urging me to go 'dark'.

I'll get some pics posted up when they're fitted. I was on a bit of a tight budget and for under 800 notes including wheel nuts they'll ding dang do for me!

Would love to see some pictures.

I tried to find some of mine but according to google there's no such thing and there is no way I'm posting a picture of mine as they are atm

Yours can't look no worse than the one's that I've had to re-fit to mine! They were sitting in the garden for a year covered in slugs, spiders and bird sh*t!
