Banded steels ? I think the Aurigas would look cool against the black though

I said understated Mark - not unsafe!

I know banded steels are safe if they're done right, i don't like them though, especially when combined with "stretched" tyres, could so easily be knocked off the bead!

Just standard issue OE alloys would be about right or possibly a set of alloys from a lower spec model.

If you wanted to be noticed, the Aurigas would look good against the black, especially sprayed gold to match the pinstripes on the body.

Normally i'd agree but with the gold pinstripe and the sleeper look, would fit very well.

Alternatively metallic gunmetal/graphite/anthracite for the slightly "stealth" look but still a smidge of bling.
