New Wheels?
Well, I s'pose I have to start talking about the 8 again sooner or later. 
Got the new wheel bug again (I can already hear the rest of you groan
).
What do you guys think about this one? Enkei BXM2. Cast, 'tis true but weighs just under 8kgs in 18x8 (so about 2kgs less than the OEM wheels). BBS looks for Enkei money methinks.

nice.
myself, i'm looking for something a little different. Maybe a 3 spoke wheel, in white?
I gotta do some more hunting around...

Thanks for the responses guys. 
Keep them coming, both good and bad. I like to find out what people think.
Azza, Eric had a serious three spoke fetish for a while there from memory - PM him and find out whether he sourced any or not. He's keen on the BBS look now.

I'm hoping they come in alloy (i.e. same colour and finish as the OEM wheels). I'm not a big fan of the gun metal look on a gun metal car - to me it makes the rims look smaller than they really are.

If I can't get the wheel in alloy, here's my next choice (Enkei RP03 - Taka's wheel I think??)

by looks of it 18x8.5, which is what I have on my car atm.
these rims r from the g-max sports range (yes again same as mine) and they dont weigh much, they are 9-10kg, which similar as stock. I guess if ur looking for racing rims ur gonna have to go for volks or enkeis, and they are more $$,
also buddy rims are racey arent they? and lightweight

I can see you're a G-Max girl Kall.
Just checked out the site - don't list weights and I couldn't find any G-Max on the Wheel Weights site.
I'll check with them.
