I'm sure my exaustive search isn't over, but I've narrowed it down to 2 wheels - unheard of for me.

Ace Manta, ROH Adrenaline, DeCorsa Oracle

Opinions?

What i think would really be nice... is if you took the first wheel on the left... since it seems to be the consencus... sand blasted it and painted gun metal grey... then stick it on the corsa blue or black koupesedan.... paint the calipers the same colour...and damn.... killer look.

That's funny, I just had mine installed today. If you want to see what they look like on a Blue Forte... take a look.

I looked for weeks trying to find the right wheel and they either were not available or not in the size I wanted. Originally I wanted a chrome wheel but these were no longer available in chrome (I even checked with Ace Head Office) so I decided to go with hyper-black.

I got these from www.wheelsnext.com and when I asked for chrome and they didn't have it, they immediatley offerd me $10 off any other wheel I chose. (saved $40 right there) I ended up paying $157 ea. plus shipping, brokerage and taxes. For anyone else in Canada, these guys are great because they quote you everything up front so no suprises at the border and you can see right away if it's a good deal.

More pictures.

You may want to check out XXR wheels @XXRWHEELS.COM. They have a 5 spoke
with a blue accent around the 5 spokes...very sharp. I am getting their XXR 519 black,silver with red accents for my racing red Koup SX.

I've turned over every stone on the internet looking for a set of SX sedan wheels. I've almost been reduced to approaching people in parking lots. ;-)
