I don't think those wheels are horrible, i've seen much worse and they look a lot better for the colour change.

Your wheels aren't too bad mate, just small. The text is better than the Volkswagen you had across them before. As I'd said before I think your car would look good with Porsche wheels  :grin:

I try to keep mine clean but 40 miles a day for work on country lanes past farms doesnt make it easy.

After seeing lots of photos of your car with them wheels, there growing on me and I think they suit it well..... Would look awesome with a set of 16" wheels with some nice dish tho  :kiss:
