I've been looking for a long time. After contemplating a number of different wheels, I settled on the 5 spoke Carrera III's.
What pushed me to go with these was the 11" rear wheel size. When it comes to rear tractions, bigger is better.
I think they should look something like this Before/After.

Andrew,
That looks cool. Planning to do anything with the brake calipers or drilled rotors? There's a lot of space there and you could show off some nice stuff inside. Car looks great by the way.
You are the master of p-shop.

That's what I put on mine and I paid about the same, but the seller was only 15 miles from me so I saved the shipping.
You definitely will want to replace your rotors with x-drilled for aesthetics and paint your calipers and maybe rotor hats. There is a lot of open space there with those wheels.

Looks Great Andrew!
Funny, back when I was looking - I would have gone with a set of cups, but I'm happy with my lightweights. Just need some 21mm spacers in the rear and I'll be set.
