Default New wheels arrived, now rolling
Gave her a good clean up for some pics, what do think ?

Have different offsets front and rear to fill the arches without spacers.
Just going to pop some small carbon fibre type Ford badges over the centre bore holes and thats it.

Not 100% on them or the front plate to be honest mate, wheels are a little 'fussy' for me.


Cheers,

they look like TSW Hocks without the center cap

Think they would look better with a center cap tho

the only thing that lets them down is they look to flat

Tnx for replies, they are team dynamics imolas in 8x18. Think the flatter type wheels suits the focus better, like the standard RS ones although not such a ball ache to clean.

I'm disappointed with how they look to be honest, i think its the colour making them look small.

As long as you're pleased though thats the main thing.

They look a tad on the small side to me but they are gorgeous and really suit the car!

Good choice imo.

Front plate is temporary and is stuck on over a smaller sticky one in the same style. Had a lilttle bother with plod. Those screw caps are just glued on to cover original holes, it's not screwed to bumper .

Looks like they have the protective film still on them.

They look cracking mate, very good choice.
