they look small due to the high profile 45 series would look better with 40 or 35 series tyres on

Thats what I was thinking. Maybe on a smaller car, like an RST or something. With 40 series tyres.

But the 5 spokes look class.

5's for me aswell, they look very tidy with their retro shape and design. Suits the car perfectly

Agree with most that the new ones look best when they're bigger, but you still have a cool motor

Good luck @ GT Battle

unanamous decision it seems, 5s are deffo a lot nicer

to me comparing the 2 pics looks like the real datapost s1 and the copy, it just looks so odd and weedy with the smaller wheels

18s everytime on a 3 door

6 spokes in a 17" just make the spokes look to narrow IMO!
