They look good mate. Surely though, your car will be the same height off the ground cos you will be using lower profile tyres...

Not true mate cuz i was using 195/40 16s before and believe me the difference in rolling radius between the rims is alot more than i thought!

Its gotta be a good 1 1/2 inches higher all round now maybe more!

And i know it looked better before but thats the way it goes out of my hands!

Maybe one day they will be swapped back for 16s!

Ah right... Didn't think it would be that much, cos when I compared my 18's to snowys 17's roling radius there was little difference - he was running 45 profile tyres and I am running 30 profile though

only you know that, if you want to know what is "in" then apparently multispokes are making a comeback

The wheels on your car are slightly more aggressive unlike the suited kind before IMO

They dont look horrible, dont get me wrong just preffered the old ones
