they are lookin' good in the box . I am gessin' they could be out of my price range once I've put some tyers on though . How much are you after my good man ? I am guessin you got 4 wheels and no tyres . I like the look of the top pik (6) spoke one , Guessing thats the 17'' cheers.

they are deffo a good price. if I gotta go for four new tyres also then I may as well get 17'' wheels though . ;) cheers guys. :) :) :)

Make sure you get the right tyre widths on the rear. I have Ford 17" seven spokes on mine and when I got them, I fitted the biggest sized tyres recommended by Ford.

Unfortunately they hit the wheel arches! I was lucky, the tyre man changed them for narrower ones FOC!

I went for 215-45-17's, I havent noticed any rubbing, I will look though. cheers. they were the best tyres for keeping the outside diameter the same and not increasing it . also a touch wider. they grip much more pleasantly than the 205-60-15's . and the ride is slightly firmer and still very comfortable.
