Default Wheel choice for my 2GS

Hi guys,

I have been hassling everyone over offsets and now i have pretty much chosen them i am second guessing my wheel choice!

My current favourite is the red accented DTX.

I have a Vermillion Red 2GS:



I am trying to choose between the following:

- Trafficstar DTX in Polish


- Trafficstar DTX with Red accents (body colour, pic is not the right red)


- Trafficstar STR in Black polish


- Other?

Please throw your opinion up, would be interested to see what others think. i dont want my car to look 'dub' but really in Australia we dont have dub as such, just a lot of Commodores and some 300Cs running 20-22" chromies :P

this really isnt a problem, but it is a consideration, if i get the 1st or 3rd one (standard colours) then i will save ~$500USD as the custom painting is over $100USD a rim.

Yea, I like #1. I think the red might be a little much on the wheels. You should go with my vote, my father is from Geelong, lol.
