Hey all, well as most of you know I have been messing with the idea of some new wheels for some time now .. tryed kevs 18 pursuit ones on they were ok but didnt quiet do it for me so had the opportunity to give these a go the rears have 265..40s on them with the ussall 245 35s up front still olny 17s but the price is rite and with a set of super lows waiting to be fitted they should look ok I think
 they are 2 peice AJRs 17x 8s..Dare I ask Whats the verdict...????

If your not going 18's or 19's then its not worth it. The original's look as good and are the same size anyhow.

I'd vote yes - I think they suit the AU shape really well.

They would look better on a RED car!
At first glance they look like T3 rims |

you'll always get people that dont like your rims....., but so long as you like them thats all that really matters...
for 17's they dont look too bad and lowered a bit more the car will look pretty good |

Tickford Rims Whoosh, the AJR's would look spot on if they were 18 or 19".

I don't mind them, but in the last shot in the original post the back ones look too small for the car almost (or I dunno, maybe its just me).
I think your original Tickford ones look better as the others are saying, however I don't think these are all bad, they'd probably just take some getting used to.

Pass, for reasons:
* They're too small for the bulk of the car * You'll be forever cleaning them

I like them - very similar to what the Supercar teams run ATM. But I don't like them enough to swap them for what you had. But it's your car, so if you like them, that's all that matters.

I quite like them, but I think they'd look alot better in 18's. If you lower though, they'd probably look really good.
