They look very ordinary. Colour doesn't gel with the car. Don't like the style either. But if you like them then it doesn't matter what any1 else thinks. Just make sure you got good rubber on them, not cheap crap.

Shape of wheels are pretty cool. I reckon if they were in black or that dark shadow color would suit that car color....

Definitely needs a lowering now to make it look phat

Wheels are 17 by 7.5 tyres are 215/40r17. Lower was always on the agenda about 30-35 mm undecided if to do myself or pay to be done...
Window tint also on the way then we will stir up the nay sayers.

They're ok, the bronze goes with the greeny blue exterior colour.

Not fond of the colour, but the style looks good on your trim. However, I wouldn't recommend lowering it. I have problems on my stock Zetec getting out of a normal driveway (sometimes I wish the stock profile was a little hire so I wouldn't scratch the splash all the time)
