Default Bbs axe ex3 wheels in black

has anyone fitted these to a 3 dr? they look a lot like the original wheel but in a 17 inch i think theyd be awesome.

They look great, suit it perfectly.
I wanted the standard look and ended up with Calibre.
Happy with the standardish look

They'd be perfect with a Ford logo in the middle. Wonder if the standard badge could be removed and replaced?

Surely they'd clear as the offset is the same as a standard wheel and the fact they are 17's?

They do it, but they only do a 7j ?
Think I need a 7.5 and 8 at rear but not sure. I don't want the rears sat right inside the arches
