Opinions on these alloys, burning welcome :)

Alloys: Click Here

What you guys reckon? I want a change from gun metal grey alloys. I saw some just like these alloys and really took to them. Comments please!

EDIT:

Went for some Rota Tarmac 18" in Gold from ScoobyBits (very good service there btw)

Think they would look ok. it's your car at the end of the day and you have to live with them so doesn't really matter what other people think.

initially i chuckled, but depending on the car to go on, they could look awesome! To me, i think they'd look really good with particularly japanesey styling!! I persoanlly wouldn't even lean them against your car! i think your current wheels look really nice.

Howabout a change of colour if you're just a little bored?!

I know a bit common, but the PFF replicas for £699 with Toyo's i think lOOk good. Not biased of course.

I think they look great, may look better in gun-metal grey though.

Depends what you've already got on the car but I'd shy away from 18s on a classic. Try 17s, the wheels and tyres are cheaper, the ride will be better and probably the handling on most smaller UK roads.
