Guide to wheels seen on 15/17 coupes.

All pictures are from 5/17's Register Days unless noted

More and more people ask what wheels do you have, do they look like this or do they have spokes on them that curves, are they black and alloy. People have always tried to describe them. But hopefully this guide will help you to find out what wheels you and others have, and also to show you what wheels are around.
