Hi got at set of 15" Zender stars but not sure if 15" is a bit small so i don't want to go out and spend money on tyres for them. Would help if you gave me details of your wheels suspension and tyre size with your pics thanks

might go and buy some tyres now. I got the Stars on ebay a few months ago for my mk1 golf striped them down replaced all the studs and polished them they look mint now made a pic with photoshop to see what they would look like

15's look good if you get the drop right and don't go too low profile on the rubber.
205/50 only look right with a decent drop. Playing it safe would be 205/55 with a 40 drop
The photoshop you have done makes the wheels look bigger than they will be, they look more like 17's in that pic. Looks cool and I like the US running lights/ reflectors
