Silver cars: show me your wheels!

I'm finally going to break down and get aftermarket wheels for my silver SE. However, deciding what to get is tough... once you buy 'em ya better lioke 'em or that's it! Seems like a splash of chrome would be cool against the silver car, then again, so would some Panasports or Rewinds, or even mesh... damn I can't decide. I hope I can some ideas from you guys.... pics please!!!!!

Those are Epsilon 15x7 3pc wheels. Very hard to find and $$$. But also a good cheaper mesh wheel would be something like an Enkei or Riken. Thats what I had on my car before the Epsilons. I cant even tell you how many mesh wheels I have run my hands through. Its not stock ride height. It is on the discontinued Nuespeed springs. Good Luck!

Toothpick spokes

This gives an idea what the toothpicks look like. Several companies make wheels similar to these. These are 15 inch with 50 series tires. I built this in 1992, 1984 GSL-SE.

I called Koenig today... turns out that the Rewind is available in either all silver or graphite (dark colored spokes with silver rim) and is available in 15x7 for the 4x114.3 pattern. Trying to get prices from a couple of stores right now.... Hopefully affordable!

I considered the ROH snypers but I like the Panasport look a bit more. Classic old school!

LOL, Koenig told me that they are making them. However, they haven't actually MADE any yet!!!! They won't be punching 4x114.3 for a 15x7 wheel with fwd offset for 6 to 8 weeks!! Whoops!

As much as I wanted Panasports (or Rewinds) I went a little different... kind of an updated meshie look! Koenig GT-R wheels.

They are on and they rock!

Thanks everyone for the help!
