Default Swapping my wheels?

Thinking about swapping my wheels from the 15x7 RH alloys



To a set of 17inch ford RS diamond cut 7 spoke alloys




Will i get any problems with them my car has been lowered 25mm!
Will they improve the way my car will handle or just be same?

when i opened this topic, the small pic of your wheels came up first and i thought "they look awful", but when the pic of the car opened, i thought "they look fantastic!"

good to see anFRST/XR2i on something different!

keep them, i say!

i sometimes wish i'd gone for something a bit different instead of the mondeo 16"

KEEP THEM! (or give them to me, if they fit over 4pots )

RS 7 spokes in 16" would be a better bet. 17's really fuck up the way a Fiesta drives. 15x7J is about perfect for the Fiesta

You would probably need 195/40/17 tyres fitted to them - not cheap!!!!
