I don't mind the wheels at all, but your rotors look tiny behind them. You'll probably end up wanting big brakes upgrades if you fit them

Yer, like them. As previously mentioned, just needs lowering more.
What's with the grill? Is that a series 1 futura grill with the middle knocked out? Looks like a big happy smile. |

I'd say that they need a decent kit to go with them. By themselves they look a bit out of place but if the rest of the car is 'beefed up' then they will look really good.

I like the ride height personally. The rims a good, but look a little thin.

They look pretty good, it just depends on whether you'd get a bargain or not though. If they're cheap I'd get them, but they wouldn't be my first choice I don't think.

Look good to me, but needs a body kit of some sort.
Also, I agree with a previous post that they look a little thin, you wouldn't want to end up with rash all over them like Simon did. Just a few thoughts. It's your car though, so do what you want to do! All the best with it. GK

I think they would look good with a kit, like a T3 one. That's my take on it anyway, wheels do nice though.
Clear guard indicators and series 3 taillights would look good also.

I think the colour of the rims doesn't match with Sparkling Burgandy.

I've seen a set like that on a lowered BA GT they look awesome
because you can see the Brembos behind them...... They look too big on yours. Maybe the same set in 18" might tone down the "Look". (or the fact it looks like you've got no brake discs!) But at the end of the day if you like them and want them....  : D  :

Well i like them..
The shadow looks good with the burgandy. The only thing i'd do if you get those would be to whack on some clear side indicators and rear AU2/3 lights. |

Yay for me ... with more deckage ... and big brakes.
Then skirt kit (no wing) ... and it'd look bloody good.
