Very cool, what are they and in what size? 4 stud?

Lose the spoiler and the rear lights IMO
As for the wheels. I like them, but I dunno, somethings not quite "right" to my eyes. I think it's because the spokes go inwards from the centre part. Not straight up, or have an outward lean to them.

Hi these are Calibre Vintage 17"x8j with a 16mm spacer all round 2x205/40 tyres on the front,and 215/40's on the rear.
And for those of you who are NOT keen with the spoiler i could take it off but there are so many converts without spoilers yes they look good and why be the same!Oh yes they are 4 stud

Ditch the rear lights and get a new Front Spoiler..
I actually don't mind the boot spoiler. Looks pretty good.
I think you need 215/40's all round and to go lower to pull the wheels off though, something doesn't look quite right currently. Maybe it's the undersized tyres and lack of front spoiler..

i thought i would like them, but having seen proper photos rather than the promotional ones off the advery i don't like them. they just look wrong somehow

whether it's the curve of the centres or the shape of the dish i don't know.
cheers,
harry

Hi harry when i saw these adv in a mag they looked ok but the curve centre of the rim did put me off until i saw the rims on a black golf and boy they looked stunning.Seeing these on a motor in the flesh made all the difference! better on a car than in a picture.

realign the doors,its ruining the line of the kit

The spoiler has gotta go! I do think that you need more rubber around those wheels. Nice car though.

Do you need spacers all round to fit these wheels? Anyone know the cheapest place to get them?
