After buying them a month ago, Waiting 2 weeks to have them refurbed then them sitting around because of the crap weather, I finally fitted my new wheels!



Thats the outside of the car complete now, Just a few small touches on the inside then a bit of tydying up here and there and i'm finished.......For now

What do you all think?

Was originally going to get some gsi snow flakes but got these cheapish. Was in two inds weather to fit them or just to sell them on.

Didn't think they would look that good!

Have you got any other pics??

I think they could look great,but that pic looks funny.Almost looks photoshopped(not saying it is though).

What size are the tyres??I think maybe they are playing a big part on the looks.They look pretty beefy.

Only got the one as i was rushing, Will get a couple more in the morning.

Think they are 215/45 tyres on them at the moment.

It does look a bit like a photoshop, but i'm useless at it!

TBH i dont think its the profile of the tyres,more the width of them.

But i will save judgement till i see better pics as i reckon it probably does look awesome in real life.

Would look perfect with lower profile tyres!

The alloys suit the car tho.

Unsure of the width. All i can remember is the offset is ET38. They sit out slightly more than the standard SRI alloys I had on.

The tyres were already on. Will get a few miles out of them aswell, Fronts are like new. Think ill get a few months out of the rears, Will probably swap them for some kumho ones.
