Grrrrr, think the new wheels DON'T suit the car???

Was looking forward to putting these on, even went the extra mile in sourcing what i'd call great tyres to put on them!!!

2 x continental sport 3's for £65 picked up!!
and the pirelli p zero nero's that come with the gross wheels which were on it (imo)

Here's some pics, contemplating some mkii alloys instead...

seen a lot worse i have to say, main issue is the tyres are too small look like 40 ratio? should be 45, if you had that then it would fill the arch a lot better

agree with ritchy the wheels look nice but they don't seem to fill the arches properly maybe it will sit down a bit after a while.

They look ok, as said the tyres make them look a little small. I think the mk2 11 spoke alloys are one of the best looking alloys on any zed, mk1 or 2.

Lower it and it'll look fine mate ....

I like them. I'm in the gang that think the Mk2 alloys don't suit the Mk1. Straights for a Mk1 - 11 spokes for a Mk2. fei force 10s on either. But these look good mate .... Honest.

Will look better with the new tryes as they are bigger and will fit the arches better.
