IMHO, the Circuit 8's and the Mugen wheels they copy are just too complicated for such a beatifully simple car like the EG. However, as far as the looks go, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong w/the car as you have it pictured w/the white wheels.

I have always liked the simple, no-nonsense, "we don't care what you think" look of the Spoon/Desmond wheels, so I would favour the flat black Rota Slips.

Note that with all of these cheap wheels, you have to face the fact that they might damage when you don't expect it (kerbstones, potholes).

I have a set of 16" Spoons for my ITR, and they have gone thousands of track miles over four years w/no damage until the end of last season...cracked a spoke and got a replacement. On the other hand, one of the 16" Slips on my EP3 is bent after just one winter in central and Northern Virginia.

Anyway, you were asking about looks...and I like the simple look of the Spoons and Rota Slips.
