Gave up after a while, the ones I did see I hated every set of wheels I saw.

Alloy wheels yes, chromed wheels - er, no thanks.

Did'nt realise how small the boot was till I saw some of these pics  :-/

They must have smooth roads where they are! Couldn't actually see any tyres just rims.

Anyone who willingly buys a 300C confirms their tacit lack of taste in a decent motorcar.  It may look, ok, but drives like a pig on it's back in the mud.

I love the look of the car, it has presence but it's sadly let down by two things, the way it does'nt handle or brake & the P Diddly Ditsy Rasclaat gangsta crew that have adopted it does'nt help an already lost cause. Idiots & 'ting!!! ::)

Quite liked the white convertible but the rest confirm that some 'custom shop' staff should have their tools confiscated.

personally, I think fitting any after-market wheels should be punishable by instant death

The estate is "adequate" for carrying things, but with a mercedes derived 3.0 V6 diesel motor, I personally quite like it..............
Disagree about aftermarket wheels, SOME of them are very nice, as long as its a bit subtle.........

What's wrong with fittng a nice set of alloys to a standard spec car? I'm not into super low profiles but my green CD had the same wheels the Beastie runs now.Most 60's 70's 80's classics look better with a set of slotmag wolfies fitted, even a Micra looks better with a set of cheapies than the standard John Peels & placcy hub caps, lighten up you two.
      I thought i was a grumpy old so & so. Punishable by death, my arse! ;D

it always looks cheap and chavvy to me. In fact, that goes for any modification to the "look" of a car.

wheels are there for one purpose - and that's to hold the tyres up.

I have sympathy for situations where you need a larger wheel in order to clear a brake pack you've got.

still, this is all my opinion, don't forget - what suits me doesn't necessarily suit others
