Would you guys like to help me decide on some new wheels for my Jazz (UK)

Hi guys, i know these threads are a little ghey, but im really stumped for ideas, With the help of my awesome boss, Ive got the chance to pretty much buy any set of wheels i want, i dont want to spend crazy money, but money is the least of the issues, im after something that is going to fit and look awesome.

I want something bigger than standard 15", but it needs to be skinny as i dont want to roll the arches or anything. I still have no idea how you guys are getting 8+J to fit without major modification.

So far im thinking of Rota slipstreams or something similarly angular, i dont like the multi spoke BBS style cack.


Few pics of the car

standard wheels

So any thoughts or suggestions, ive found lots i like the look of, ive spent a couple of hours mooching through this forum, but didnt find anything i fancied. I even spent what felt like a whole day going through that 50+ page thread in the gallery with just loads of Fits posted. There are lots of wheels i like, but i dont know if it would go with the yellow.

Sort me out dudes.

I would buy Rota's, but that's only b/c I'm poor. Since money isn't the biggest of issues, cheapo Rotas are too easy. I vote Enkei RPF1 16x7 in SBC. There was a group buy going on here but not sure if it's still valid.

i like the stock gd3 wheels on lowered fits, like you have in the first picture. Or if you like slipstream look, get some evos like Ricky had on his fit.

+1, these or if you want black the Spoon SW388. If Cash isn't the problem, but the real wheel's the slipstreams are copying!

Damn! Your jazz looks sick just how it is. Simple and clean. I agree with not going w/ the wide look. I suggest if you want something bigger than 15's is to go 16's and the widest to go will be 16x7. That way you wouldn't need to roll your fenders. Slipstreams would look good. But since your in the UK, your probably better off getting some real deal Desmond regamaster evo's or some spoon sw388.

I am biased on the Slipstreams or Spoon/Regas.

Just to add also, Im a cheapskate too when it comes to wheels, im not fussed about 'real' or 'rare' wheels for the scene points, i just want something that is going to look bad ass.

16s were what i was thinking. Also as im UK based, finding some real wheels for a reasonable price is hard, Enkei RPF1s in 16s are £1100, ($1800) without tyres.

16x7 +43 through +38 should be perfect, here are a few classics that work on almost every car

Volks CE28s


Mugen MF8s


Kosei K1s
