I wouldnt disagree as I think they are quite a nice wheel. Just means that your kind of trying to copy another cars style in a sense. I see the reasoning behind sticking to VW wheels though :smiley: How about the Pirelli's??

I've not seen them in the flesh so its hard to comment but from pics I think the Monzas and Pescaras are much much nicer than the Ps, all imo of course.

Those aren't the same alloys I'm afraid. The ones I'm looking at are 5 spoke.

the VW wheels (5 spokes) aren't a milion miles away from a MK1 S4 wheel (8 spokes)that have the same design at the end of the spokes, a long time before any Focus alloys that are trying to look like Lambo wheels

I thought that was the whole point of the bright orange paint
