I don't need to see your car in the flesh , although i am sure i have at one of the shows this year? I have seen other 3 doors with them on and didn't like them either!
Its your car and your choice but then the same should apply to the colour you have them

Can't understand why they look so 'inward' on the rear with that offset and width though Maybe its the tyre size or just an illusion in the pic? I must have a better look next time i see it in the flesh

no idea TBH. The tyres dont look stretched at all. they arent peeling at the edges or anything. its been lowered at the rear by 30mm, and they did camber in a bit. maybe i need one of those spacer kits?

Yeah i can see the camber on your rears and that is no doubt what is making the wheels 'hide' in the arches at the top. I doubt de-camber shims will make much difference to be honest as they didn't on Ian3doors car when he fitted them. I think the only way to rectify the camber problem is to raise the rear end back to somewhere near where it should be and then also your 'rally' type rims would look a lot better imo

i think its because they are ET25's that they look a lot worse than normal ones, plus they are wider too. again, that piccy makes them look worse than what they are.

yes I think they look ok while, think a nice bright silver would look best though. Those rims need stickers though to look there best.
