New rims.....
Bloke who own this car seems to think that the new wheels totally transform the look of the car.
Is it just me, or at a glance does it just look the same as before

Yes, AMG rims on an astra coupe turbo.
What do you think of the enormous transformation from the old wheels to the totally different new ones though?
He was genuinely suprised people thought it looks kind of similar

Yes, at a glance they look the same. But a closer look they aren't.

I did a similar thing a few years ago and got the piss ripped out of me by my mates
I went from these
To these after just 2 months
Nobody could tell the difference but they were half inch wider
