Lower it lots and ask me again.  I like the rims and I like the concept but I don't like it in the pics. |

I reckon its a real transformation, makes it look even cleaner and sharper Like everyone has already said though, it would look even cooler with the wheels closer to the arches. Very easy for me to say sitting here on my swivvel chair of course, but not easy to do! |

Looks great on those, doesnt need lowering either, but maybe you shouldnt listen to me, as I am too much of a tight ar5e/cant be ar5ed lowering anything of mine. I also like body-roll and big gaps between wheel arches and tyres. There, I`ve said it. Why do I now feel like I`ve just admitted to being into Barbara Streisand and being good with colours at a Steven Seagal convention*?

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

I kinda like them in an American style - big rims on your car - kinda style.

funny, all the cars i've ever had that ive put much bigger wheels on have handled worse, an inch over standard with low profiles seems to work best on most things.
probably more to do with increased width and lower profile rubber making the car feel more secure than any actual improvements, most race cars that move up to bigger wheels to fit bigger brakes on have the suspension geometry revised to cope with the change in size.
they do look good though, but not with standard size brakes behind em, always laugh at the lil chav cars with 18's and 240mm discs! lol

I think the wheels suit the car but seem a little too big. Maybe if you dropped it a bit or went for a sligtly smaller wheel size and width?
Other than that I think it looks cool.
