Standard wheels back on what ya all think?

Put some pics of my car up the other day with the white 360cs wheels
quite a few did not like the look
well think i have to agree

so i fitted the originals back on..
pics of before and after below..

Will order some rear spacers on monday, and the car is as low as it will go without hitting speedbumps etc

Serious question, what do you find the running costs to be like? Would a 355/360 be comparable?

I agree, I have put my Escort Cos back to standard for just this reason.
3 doors and 500's are another very good example, 7/8 years ago there were loads of 500's with non standard rims nowadays 99% seem to have standard
and they look much better

The challenge wheels look far better than the standard wheels and if done as mentioned in silver they would look better,doesnt anyone agree they make the car look newer IMO.

white wheels for me, the standard ones kind of give its age away but with the white jobies it looks up to date..... 355 wheels would be perrrrfect though
