Default New wheels for my 3dr

Well, different ones anyway

I bought these the other week and although I like them I'm still a bit unsure, the pics aren't the best which doesn't help, I've got centre caps and decals to go on when I get them which will also help.

They're Ears RL7s 8x17 ET25, opinions??

I know a lot of people will say they prefer the comps but I've never really been happy with them since I bought the car tbh and wanted to make it stand out, bit fed up of dark wheels tbh.

Also added the RS500 rear spoilers recently, complete tailgate actually, the 500 badge will be coming off when I get round to it

Looks nice, if you don't like them night borrow one off you to try on the Orion...
My comps were 8x16 et25 on my other Orion, I'm dying to try some 8x17 et25 on the zetec turbo'd one...

Thanks

Tbh from some angles I don't mind the comps but they're the wrong offset on the rear so tend to look a bit lost

I agree with andy, I'm not a fan of the 17in 6 spokes. I do love rl7's on a 3dr though especially black on black. I remember a black rs500 for sale a while ago (was for sale for ages and had 500bhp) had rl7's and I was always drooling over the pics lol

Well I wasn't expecting that response lol, I honestly expected people to prefer the comps

Thanks for the comments!

Sorry Rob, the comps are already sold I'm afraid.

Im sick of seeing comps on sierras but in this case the comps look better.

Brammers 3dr is pulling off a set of RL7s but i dont know why i cant warm to yours. Love 3drs, love rl7s, love certain gold wheels (rl7s being one type). But mix up a combo like that and it paints a diff pic!!

Maybe if they where bigger, it would pull off the look for me more!!

I agree mate, I'm unsure myself, I think some of it is cos the rears look a bit lost, I don't know whether that's because the suspension hadn't settled so it's sitting a bit high, or because it could ideally do with 235s on the back to beef it up a bit?

Haha, I know, I'm thinking of changing the tyres so didn't bother with tyre shine for the pics
