Default Been offered these wheels for my series 1 what do you think?

Didnt want to ruin the ride quality with 17" rims so was looking at going 16" Been offered these at a really good price,.Wanted your opinions.Do you think they look good or dont really suit the series one?


Other options are to keep my standard rims on the car
Go for some comp mos or something similar (will cost alot more though)

Been offered them for about Ł300 and the wheels are unused and come with brand new toyo proxies.Wouldnt be my first choice of wheel but if i was planning on Mos or the like would be paying over 3 times that.

They look good, but i personally think that series 1 looks really good with Wolfrace Voodoos on, 17", i had them on my series 1, everyboy loved it. i still got the wheels but not the car.

I love them on 17" wheels but just heard they are quite bumpy and didnt want that, also will make the steering heavier cos of no power steering.

Stick to 16" defininitely...and they're a steal at 300 quid. Will make your money back easy if you get bored of 'em
