i think it depends on the car & the styling the car has too. An old friend of mine had a white 3i, with white Rs alloys on it, that looked pretty good with the lettering on the tyres done in white too, but it's an utter twat to keep clean - you'll end up redo'ing them every weekend !

i think that looks alright fella, try going with a complete side shot of the car and seeing if you can do it again - might look different from the other perspective.

They are very good in the dry, and about average in the wet. Compared to the T1-S performance is not to bad, but they will last about 6 -7 months longer.
