I decided to change the look of my car with some new wheels. Thanks to Dude for lending me his BRM reps for the pic's. Old look with Flat 4 Enkei's:  New look with BRM replicas:  Apologies for the crappy iphone photos. What do you guys think? I like the fact that the enkei's are not that common, but, love the look of the car on the BRM reps.  |

. ..it's nice to mix & match with wheels, maybe have 2 sets ;-) -personally, I reckon your car looks 'harder' on the BRMs (for our European friends 'harder' is a good thing ) |

Enkei's are nice, but BRM look more brutal. You will not find a lot's of help here to make your choice |

Enkei wheels date the car, therefore BRM's is my choice... with detailing ideally.

I think your car has the "BRM" look..Never cared for the Enkei's, anyway. JMHO (ADAGP).

BRM's without a doubt, also removing the chrome trim from the running boards, sell the others.

X2. Berms have always been hard to beat. Those five spoke things just scream....wide 5 VW bolt pattern. Perhaps a tri-tone treatment would help, IMHO. |
