Looks great. Well worth it.

Looks much better with the black wheels. Hope you managed some roof down T5'ing today - first day of summer up here!

Looks great. But perhaps you don't need to use such a big picture for your signature. Becomes rather frustrating when you comment multiple times on a single thread.

.... nice wheels, much better look with the black alloys. were your previous wheels 17's as well?

No, had 18s before, but they ideally needed a refurb, and new tyres on 2 of them. so just went for 17s instead.

@Snoodini I will see if I can make it smaller, didn't see anyway to change the size when i chose the picture.

Could do with some lowering now

I'm personally no fan of black alloys, but you'll find it rides and drives a lot nicer with higher profile 17" tyres. My friend has just bought a C70 and still has the 18" Mizrams fitted, and I'd forgotten how lead footed mine felt with them on.
