Nice, love those wheels but there is too much air between them and the arches

The car and wheel look great but I would have gone for a 40/45 profile tyre for ride comfort and better drivability.

Thanks buddy. 35 profile tyre is the correct size for 19 wheel. Well if you want your speedo to read correctly. Ride comfort not a problem.

Honestly? I don't think they suit the car at all sorry
Rest of the car looks spot on though.

Thanks for all the comments, good and bad. I love them, they make such a difference to the look of the car over the standard 17's i think. I'll post some more pics when I get it lowered. Cheers

Dont think i'll need to buddy. Wheel offset of 50 and 235 width tyre should be ok. That is why i did'nt go for a 245 or 255 tyre. However if I need to I will but I think there is enough room. Time will tell.

Not on a 8.5" wheel. A 235 tyre is fine.

Like that a lot, they look much better on the hawk than the hatch, the offset on the hatch makes them sit in too much.

Well done for being different!
