Help choosing wheels

ok so i stumbled across 1500 dollars and want to buy some wheels and tires for the fd. ive always had my eyes on those tsw's thruxton wheels but am unsure how they look on the fd. im lookin for something with a decent lip to them, an 18 inch rim. ne one have these kind of wheels on their fd if so could u send some pics. i tryed using that simulator on discount tire site but the 18s look like 16s in a cartoonish way.

actually the fd is montego blue for now i do plan on painting it the spirit r white and powder coating the wheels a dark bronze color to be diff cause the tsw's come in generic colors such as gun metal, silver n black. but the color combo for the car will look ok i guess for now.

Look on the BMW m3 forums as well. They usually have a decent collection of rims up for sale over there unless your looking for new.

M3's use 5 x 120 lug pattern, IIRC. No good for our cars.

wankle88, your links don't work. It says "this page is set to private".
