They look good. I thought they looked better not mounted on the car, perhaps a more set-up picture on the country side would help! Too bad they weren't 18's but for the cost of tires who can complain? The better the deal the better!

I paid 650 for my wheel/tire combo!

Gonna jump out there and say that these are pretty conservative for a guy like you Jim. :) I expected them to look a wee-bit more aggressive, just a bit more flare. They are very clean looking however, very stock looking...but could be much worse, that is for sure.

H20boy...conservative for a guy like me??? I know what you mean though, fairly stock lookin but I'm quite happy with that look

I say drop it and go from there! That should improve the look! You could also paint the calipers red/yellow or something add a little sizzle to the mix! I already know what you'll say to that!

Whats up h20?

HAHAHA! You just posted before me! dropping her would add to the look of the rims for sure! No need for 18's in that case! One last thing I just noticed (going on my 3rd edit of one post) is that the 50 series tires make the rim look smaller. The 45 series would look better and would be the same size as the x-type has stock with 17's (but new tires wouldn't be in the cards when you bought the rim/tire combo for tire replacement.)

I have already painted the calipers Aquill.....silver

. I painted the inner hubs as well to match and it looks clean.
No red / yellow etc for this car Aquill.......Its a classy executive saloon and it just wouldn't look right.

I know what you mean about the rim size though as that did cross my mind too, same scenario with the tyre sizes too. If i went with 45 series I'd deffo need to get it lowered first.

Cheers Aquill

Jim

Yeah I knew you'd say no! I already know what you'll say to that!

I wonder if black would look better? Probably not I just did some red calipers and they don't quite look right...
