At the moment I have Corsa C SXI wheels on my car, in Rover Gunmetal grey:



However, in the garage I have a set of Cesaro's for me to refurbish and then fit. I have done a very rough photoshop in white (using paint!) to see how they will look:



Which do you prefer? For reference, the V6 brakes shown behind the Cesaro's will be fitted very soon.

If you prefer the Cesaro's, do you think they should be white, silver, black etc?

Expensive to buy though, I already have the SXI's fitted, and I got a set of 5 Cesaro's in almost perfect nick apart from paint peeling for less than £60, so very cheap.

I'm just not sure if I should do a couple of Cesaro's and see how they fit.

If I'm honest, I also want to fit the cesaro's as they will show the larger 288mm discs, especially as they are Black Diamond grooved and drilled discs. The Cesaro's also give more room for the brakes within the wheel

Brakes are for safety not to show off

Sell the cesaro's and buy some corsa c Sri rims

I'm not just fitting the brakes for looks Kat, I'm buying them so I can stop quicker.

as I said, SRI rims are more money which I just don't have, and I also want to stick with 15's for handling.

But the way u put it sounds more like u want to show them off....

TBH you could make a lot of profit on the cesero's a lot of people are looking for a good set.

SRi wheels i think would look awesome!

Thats the issue Chris, they are stupidly tight behind the SXI wheels according to jr, but the Cesaro's give a little more clearance.
