they are polished rims, look quite nice though

15x7 would look nicer (if they do them)

unfortunately they dont do them in 15s only 16s and above but i wanted a bigger rim for the golf
and was told i could go up to a 16 but it had to be a 6.5 which these are and i think they look the
dogs but im worried if the 6.5 will look as deep dish as those 9 do in the pic !!!!

im sure the outer faces all look the same eg all look as deep ??? but its the bit behind the front face of
the alloy that will be deeper that makes the tyre much wider or am i well wrong on this and a 6.5 will
look alot flatter than a 16x9 variety as shown in the pic on the site!
