Just clarifying here. My answer "Yay" was to your question "Too much bling Factor for a Fez?"

So overall its A Nay for those wheels. I dont think Chromies do well on Fiesta's

God no! They look cheap and nasty like a lot of chrome rims now. I did see some nice Vaults tonight curiously enough. They were in a similar style to Scarey's Arrius rims, but chrome and they were on a early 90s 280E Merc.

Nay... not on the Fez. I saw a black Audi yesterday with similar rims - they were massive, maybe 20" and the rubber was so thin you could barely see it. He was probably going for the "Dub" look but it looked distinctly over-done to me. Ah well, to each their own.

Just saw those Vaults on a Fully Hektic Toyota Hi Ace Van Thingie. I think they were 17s and really looked like cheep rubbish. So i think if they where on a fiesta it will give the wrong impression.
