Oh yeah their Rota grid drift 8.5x18" in matt gunmetal, nearly went for 9.5s but did'nt want my arches rolled

Hmm, I know someone with very similar wheels to those but I can't remember who's car it is or where I've seen them.

I quite like them but you might have been better off going for a lighter wheel colour like bronze, as the whole car is now too dark.

I'll let you know what I think when I see it in the flesh.

I had heard that you like dark but not in the context of wheels.

I still think until I see the complete car that it looks too black, perhaps I'll change my mind when I see it for myself.

You lick @r$e Ryan.

You need to get rid of those chav rear lights they look like they belong on a Saxo - I'd forgotten how bad the Hawkeye rear lights looked and the best thing I ever did for my Hawkeye was to swap for Blobeye rear lights.

Yeah, was thinking about blobeye rear lamps, and then i was going to try and source a blobeye bonnet, front wing's x2, peanut headlamps x2 a blobeye front bumper and do a full blobeye face drop
How's this for chav;

Oh no the great guru Jarvis has criticised my car - now what will I do?

I know I'll act like a 3 year old spoilt brat and pick massive great holes in his STi wannabe, oh no I won't as I'm an adult.

Nice See quite a lot of Evo's with these wheels...
I think the dark wheels on a black car look good.

All joking and banter aside, they are a good looking wheel but as Merv has suggested perhaps a caliper colour change would be worth considering.

You obviously got your inspiration from a member with good taste.

Like the wheels. I'd also keep the K-Sport calipers black. Tidy!

Ty, I also like your wheels

I like them, in fact i have considered them myself. They could do with a contrasting colour as Merv says though with the calipers perhaps just to make them ping a little!
