these are one of my favourite designs! I need to get wheels asap as my kit is on hold till i get them. Anything better qyality, similar style in the same finish? Plus halfords have 20% off, so possibly something from their range

i'm sure other manufactures do the same or a similar design.

I'd avoid fox wheels tbh.

LOL, Its cos they are a halfords wheel. Always will be. motorsport wheels are the guys who supply everyone with them and they deal with anyone and everyone.

The quality ok just dont expect them to be light. they weight a ton.

Not anywhere near as heavy as Momo's!

I would say weight wise they are about the same as TSW, as well as being roughly the same quality..

If you want some rare nice wheels I have an order coming in at the end of november...
Do a search on google for Rota Slipstream, Rota Action and Rota Redline..
These wheels are HUGE in america, ive just become the official UK importer, buy a set off me and they will be the first in the UK

Weight wise 15" are 11lb's - superleggeras are 11.5

At the end of the day, if you like them and they are in your budget, go for them.

17"s arent cack. Personall preference.

Fox wheels are poop hence why they are called "FOX" and not something goos like mille liglia

They are endorsed by halfords so obviously they buy loads on the cheap so your paying a HUGE profit to them no doubt. As for quality i have know knolledge good or bad IMO i think they look allright seen a set on a corsa b4 was ok i guess look large for 17"s, wouldnt buy them for the same reason i wouldnt buy joytech accsecories for the ps2m id buy official

I think ive changed my mind and im going for a set of these in shadow chrome, i put them against the side of my car and i really like them!

And steve, i didnt want to get 17s till i had the XE, but the kit i have is too low on 15s
