standard speedlines or phase 1 alloys.

if 15's then turbines.

think most folk would agree on that.

The only thing I will say mate is jimmy's borbets looked smart as and one of the best looking rims I think for the 5 but just remember his were the 16" if you was thinking of the 15" rims mate I would be careful as you will only have an inch to an inch and a half lip on show and won't look anything like jimmy's UNLESS you can find a set in 15/8's then they will look sweet but I'll warn you know mate there like looking for a needle in a hay stack

well i can get some 15" borbets that are 7 1/2 j. propper odd size but there spot on! 4x100 62.8 centre bore too so will fit nice and there only £300. dont want 16" really think there too big.

I have the same as phill. Imo just buy the lightest wheels you can find.
