I want my 142 to sit on some custom 16 or 17" steel wheels. The 17" bmw 7 series wheel above is a pretty good starting point, but might be more trouble than it's worth. What I really would like it to achieve something like this silver 142. It has that "stock but still bad-ass" look that I'm after. I don't like the 70's grille and the racer fuel cap on this silver 140, the stock fule cap is beautiful how it lines up flush with the body trim. Also, I'm not going to put sparco seats in it for the racer look, but a cage isn't out of the question... mainly because it will do wonders for the chassis.
The reason to go custom steel is that you can specify the exact offset so the outer edge of the wheel comes flush with the fender lip. Then you run a 40 series low profile tire that's slightly smaller than the rim to tuck under the fender line. The ideal setup is for the fender to be a offset of the wheel.
