Cheers for the positive comments guys. I was not sure if they looked a little dark against the green.

I did think about 18's but read about handling and ride quality can suffer with the 18's. I think 17's look big enough, especially when i can get around to lowering it a little.

Mine's got 18's on it with Prodrive springs and no problems with the handling or ride after fitting them. I've owned the car from new so have gone from original 17's to 18's!
