Default GT-P rims on a TE50 look-a-like?

What do you guys reckon about putting GT-P 18's on a TE50 lookalike? Been lookin at a set on wheelsdirect n they just for some reason look like they would suit..
Its a bit of an expensive gamble without getting another opinion though LOL

From what I have seen (if Im looking at the right ones) I think they would look great. All the BA rims look great on the AU, which solidifies the argument that the AU's are getting better with age. They suit the new stuff better than the new stuff itself. Just my 2 cents.

Hmmm yeah Im convinced, but I'll probly go for the GTP option ones ( the curvy 5 spokes).
Will look heaps better than the current 16's lol (speedy holotype R's)
The package deal on wheelsdirect is only 1650 for 18's with tyres, seems better than any offer ive had from Bob Jane etc.

Nah, That is a photoshop job that i did to see what it would look like. These are the only wheels that i can find that suit my car i think, so am in the process of finding some without much luck where i am...

I agree, i think it makes the car look great
