Nice 'n' shiney dude! Judging the tyre they're second too?!
I'm an old ale swilling grumpy git so personally, I prefer the OE wheels... Having said that, I rekon they'll look quite neat, think they'll contrast very nicely with the Red...wouldn't work on my grey...no sorry 'Platinum' 16v

I think with aftermarket alloys, I feel it's about balance..too OTT and it looks all showey and doesn't 'match' the car...but they look good quality without the pretense...like to see the car when they're on

I had them on before, but in silver and it didn't quite work. These will be the OE colours, with Michelins all round at the correct size. They're only 15's anyway.

So are you going to spray these then? What colour? I'm going to refurb mine at some point..do you need special spray and lacquer or is it normal automotive stuff?

I'll give em to a bodyshop and get them done properly I reckon....I won't take my can of Halfords special to them

Its not something I'll do for a while, as they're not far off the OE colours now. Grey centres and a polished lip.....

They look better "in the flesh" I reckon, although judging by the piccy, turning the steering will be a b!tch
