Hi All

Well we bought some wheels for Ian's car



However Ian's not sure about them on his now   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:  so he put them on mine to see how they looked......




I like them on both, even though I wasn't looking for new wheels for mine  s:? :? s:?


I actually like how the originals look on Ian's but he doesn't.

What do people think????

Also they came with Khumo SPT 205/45/17R 88W all round. I'm assuming that they will be ok on the front? but what size stagger would they need to be on the rear?

since you asked, afraid I hate them on either, however if you must they look better with Sable

Not my cup of tea I have to say. I would personally have the originals painted black. That would suit both cars.   s8) 8) s8)

I'm not really keen on them either, but think they look better on the silver car.

You do know that same size all-round isn't a good idea on the roadster?

They look far better on the silver car IMO. I tend to agree with the others. They arent really my thing but ive seen far far worse.

You need to sort the tyres out ASAP if you intend to keep them.

Not a fan of them on those colours, but they look better on the silver imo.

Anyone think they'd look good on a black '2?

Not really a fan of them on either car to be honest but like I say thats just a matter of taste. On the tyre front Im no expert so please someone correct me if im wrong but my guess is those tyres would be good for the rears if you could get matching  brand/tread pattern tyres something like 185/45/17 if they are available for the fronts.

those tyres are going to be way out

ideally you want 205/40/17 front and 225/35/17 rear

You need therapy curly  s:P :P s:P


Here they are in black, but it does need lowering too. Even then im not keen on the wheel design. What size are they 18 or 17?

I didn't say they were expensive, but I wouldn't consider £450 cheap when you see what price alot are

A good set of wheels will cost you that used without tyres. £450 is a lot of money yes, but depends what you want, if you want halfords package deals then do it, if you want something good, fits, lightweight, good looking then look elsewhere, if i can't afford new id rather buy a good used set. As I say not a big fan of the wheels unless painted them look a bit chav.

Maybe its just me,but the wheels photoshopped all in black, doesn't look bad at all.
Wheel choice, like many appearance mods is so subjective. If you like it? is the most important thing.
Asking opinions on a forum like ours is like giving a baby a hand grenade, you just wait for the explosion.  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Yes, don't worry I won't make the same mistake again

I did ask for opinions, which 'mostly' is what I got.

Thanks to those people anyway   s:) :) s:)
