Default Thinking about getting new shoes

Hello everyone,

So the car hasn't sold, so I'm thinking about putting some new shoes on it. I wanted to get your opinions on these.

Option 1


Option 2


Option 3


Here are some pics of the car for reference.





Your opinions would be greatly appreciated to include finishes that you think might look great. Peter from Modulare Forged has been great to work with. He's offered a great deal. Just need to figure out which wheel.

Thank in advance for your help guys.

Chris

i don't think any of those wheels offers anything additional over your existing wheels.

they're all pretty plain...... and shiny

Hey Chris,
Glad to see you still have the car.......I think the M10 is very interesting. I would go with the machine finish, black windows and chrome lip. It's different. Not to crazy about the first one.

Good luck and post pics

the m9 and m10 are quite similar (multispoke) to what you have now, though i agree with Ron, the m10 look nice. i like 5stars though, so it's the M2 for me. in highly aggressive offsets though...maybe +20 to +15 depending on how much fender work you want to do...

M9s look the best out of the 3 but they are so similiar to your Work wheels, i wouldnt even bother wasting the money.

My thoughts exactly. The M9's do look good though. But still, hard to be the build quality of the Works you have.
