Not fussed mate? I just think manufacturers wheels look better than aftermarket. I would say though, if you're still in the market for some wheels, don't go too skinny on the tyres, they'll ruin the fab ride and may make your motor handle terrible or increase tramlining etc  :y

everytime i see replacement wheels and no centre caps it makes me think 'half a job'

the guy has spent the best part of 4/500 on wheels and tyres, for another 10% more he could have finished it off really well....

B- good effort, just missed the mark though

What I dont get is this ...

Everyone says dont get 19s cos they will look too big without bigger brakes , yet all rave about Vauxhall 19's which I think look boring as .......

If you have small brakes then having 18's or 19's with thin spokes that leave lots of free space can make the car look wrong and out of proportion.

Part of the reason behind the VXR rims being so well liked is that the deal with the issue well, the spokes are thin, but there is a design to them, the eye is drawn away from the background to the foreground due to the design, thus you could have the smallest brakes on it and get away with it

Not randon, just good optical illusion
