ok, any websites or other pics to back it up? also is the tire/rim alot wider than the standard au S1 wheels? because these make the car look an awesome fat shape. Ah and also where could i possibly get a pair? local ford dealer?

And then scroll down the thingy. They are a 17x8. So just as wide as a 18/19" wheel.

ok well i got the standard au forte 15"x6".. i think? someone from work was telling me it uses alot more petrol and power from the car if you have these wheels because of the width and because of that its harder to steer.. i wouldnt have a clue if thats true.. Im also looking at getting the car lowered, how much is it to get a car lowered?
