Sorry, not keen on those (you asked!)

Main reason is wheels of that style always look to me like they're much smaller because the centres are so small. Looks to me like it's running on 13s!

They aren't bad but they don't really suit the car in my opinion.. You need a bigger rim or a lower car! Saying that, if you like them then that's the main thing! :)

Wheels look really nice, the spoiler looks a bit out of place though.

Awesome Wheels. They do look a bit small though, front definately needs to come down.

now I've had a proper look on a decent screen, all you need is some 60mm front springs! the height at the rear is all good! they'd look a million bucks if that big ol' front arch gap was cleared up! :)

I think they look great. Different, but not too 'out there'.

60 Drop on the front will make it a nightmare to live with on a cab. I got rid of that setup as the previous owner destryoed the sump on a pothole a few inches deep. -30 or 40 should fill the gap without having to drag the sump along the ground.

From what I can tell the saloons sit better at -60 but the cab is very low.

They look too small for the car just get some M3 alloy wheels will give the car the aggressive look it deserves.

They do look smaller in the pic... But in flesh they look a lot better .. Will get bigger dishes for the rear once the cash flow is healthier :D :D
