they suit the car mate!
i think they would look nice a dark silver/gun metal..
black wheels would just be too much black!

They're ok, I've seen far worse to be honest!
I think MK2 Mondeo's need 18s really though to be honest, due to the size of the arches!

They could do with a refirb neil, if/when I get it done, I'll probs go black again, I got used to it on black wheels, although when I first the black wheels, i thought it was a bit to much black, but they defo grew on me. Hence asking for opinions, as i'm biased toward black wheels.

They are mate there 17's. You really need 18's if not 19's on a Mondy, but as I said, I paid peanuts for them.

deffo need's 18's and lowering tbh personally think 5 spokes are a bit bland however how about painting them anthracite, good compromise between silver and black maybe?

They always sit lower at the back than the front when lowered with just springs mate, so im planning -50mm front -40mm rear.

I just don't see the point of buying an expensive set of alloy wheels, then painting them black so they look like shitty steels! Anthracite looks cool, but definately no darker IMO!
