yeah there too big! to get the best handling stick with ur 15" bbs and some good tryes but if u did want something different i'd wait and try and get hold of some 16" hartge alloys. imo with bigger wheels the steering becomes less responsive and i hear the bk alpina reps give a poor ride.

Do what you like mate, the black BBS look a little lost surrounded by white tech 2 kit.

What you looking to spend?

Its a nice low miles car, in what looks like nice condition.

Don't mollest it with some big after market alloys, it will look so so council on most 17's.

Spray the BBS silver, and leave them. Raise the suspension also, you will smash the sump!

yea i had prob with the sump when i bought my car. Bought it 70mm lower than standard, did the required repairs to get her going again, and on the way to the MOT station, pulled into a layby and took the sump out on a nicely positioned rock, to add to the insult when trying to get it towed back home by a female family member in her partners skoda VRS front toe eye turned slightly projectile like, as it exited my bumper mount, and tried burrying its self in the VRS. what an enjoyable day.,....
