personally prefer anthracite but im just not a black wheel fan tbh

They arent black, they are dark gray with pearl on top...not best light for it....not sure what to make of them TBH i loved my FR ones but just couldnt justify thr expense at the moment

What profile tyres are on them mate? They look quite high profille.

they are 205/40/17...think thats the correct size...if i went 35 they would have no rim protection

I think they look awful so I should have them ;)

haha cheers

Look nice, but personally i prefer the fr ones.

cheers, each to their own! I did love my FR ones but just cant justifythe cost of two...im gonna get one straighten out and then buy another one in time, to either sell as a set or put back on!

Like them! Car seems to sit nicely on them too. If I'm honest, I prefer the design of the vRS Spiders over the FRs... I just prefer the colour of your old FRs.

Nothing a quick respray wouldn't fix ;)

Our cars are back being brothers again lol! Mine are anthracite hard to take pics light needs to be right they look black in alot of my pics. They are the correct tyre size mine came with the original tyres on 50 profile waaaay to fat to fit on the car lol! They are easy to curb thou mine were unscathed foe 2 years then in the space of about 3 months they got ruined by me parking in a stress and in a rush on a busy road grrr!

Personally I think the facelift FR wheels looked nicer on your car. The vRS wheels would look a lot nicer if they were a lighter colour. The colour they are atm makes them look small

cheers, think you may be right, still have two FR ones in my garage and one that has a flat spot so will get that sorted then im just one alloy down,

may give it a month or two to decide on a spray job, may do it myself, if i dont curb them haha

The wheel do look really good in the flesh, and fill the arches better, will wash and wax the car tomorrow and take some shots,

I kinda feel like "better the devil you know" and gone with what i know i like, but these were a good price and got me out of a fix!

Think you have come out of it pretty well tbh, 17 inch spiders look nice. Aimez has pulled them off well too and ash's old ibiza always looked mint! If they havnt cost you much, then even better :p

Yeah cheers, they look alright will change colour I think in future but i neefed something to get Mr back on the road, I'm not even sure how long I'm gonna have the car now, perhaps another 6 months?

P.s. she only levels it when I chuck her in the boot

oh scott will do!

what do you think, you always have pretty good opinons on things, they have settle over the weekend and have giving the whole car a whole wash and wx and tbh they look pretty good!

i imaging its a case of "photos dont do them justice" my first thought were 'there black' i really dont like black wheels, only suited in certain cars etc. they look very dark but i bet in life they look good, personally if thats not the case i would lighten them up but hey, each to there own, if you like em then :thumbup:
