Just like the owner.

Thnkx Bbz, cheeky bum later?

Oh ed you actually arrived at Scott's eventually? I thought you would be busy all day with all that cleaning and washing and other woman's stuff YOU TART!

FYC! The house was a bit of a state so I sorted it!

Assuming your sppedo was correct on std tyres (195/55R15) then the 205/40R17 will be spot on
compared to 195/50R15 then your 3.47% difference

Thanks for that Chris Good to see you yesterday too Car sounds loverly

Although im really not a fan of after market wheels (personal preference I know) Now and again i see an after market wheel on a 306 and think that is epic win followed by oooww its bin done, now i cant do it lol. but ACE yesterday was one of those times these do suite you ar down to the ground, Good choice buddy

Thanks mate, I'm so please with it, I keep finding excuses to go look out the window at work; it looks so awesome it has however been done before; technically I'm copying Scott, who had his 16"s way before me, but I did sliiightly copy a guy called Mabgti...

But given how rare the alloys are, and the fact he's now changed his alloys to 16" TD pro-race 1.2s, and he's wrapped his car in BMW Frozen Grey now, I think it's unique enough again!!

Looks lovely mate.
If I had to criticise it (and being me i'd have to find something) then the wheels almost look the same dirty black colour as the car, and cars don't really work if they have wheels the same colour as the car (unless silver on silver, white on white...)
I genuinely think they'd look even better if the wheels were a brighter silver and contrasted against the car.
But I can tell you're delighted with them so I'll shut up now.

EFA Nah I know what you mean mate, the cyclones did nicely set the rest of the car off with the silver colour, but I love the stealth look of these alloys personally. They do have a fair bit of brake dust build-up too, which does dull the colour more...

Meh I adore it as it is so the anthracite is staying! I do however need to get the 'speedline' and 'flowformed' decals from speedline... /tart
