I should co-co, your current wheels are rubbish . Check the Sapphire pictures thread, this had several cars with 17" / 18" Mos on (you lazy git ).

Yeah they do look spot on, just dont know wether to change them Only reason thinking is that i will need to get new tyres on the car this year so shall i see if i can stretch to new wheels? The pain is the tyres still got a load of tread left on them! Just been on the car for 4 years now and not sure i like the idea of old tyres on performance car

You will need a little bit of minor fettling on some cars, but nothing major. However, as I said, you will be limited to 215/35 x 18 tyres...
