Looks great with the new rims! Are they 8" front 9" rear?

They look great!

Thanks, I don't really like chrome wheels, but they were too good to pass up. It gets me onto 17" tyres while I save for what I really want... I might get them refinished in gunmetal or something later on.

Car looks great with the new wheels! Handling must be improved with the sticky tyres and light weight rims.

Unfortunately Gram lights don't live up to their name...... The rears are 9.5kg and the fronts are about 9...
Tyres will be a big improvement on the Falkens I had though. 15" tyres are getting hard to find....

Those rims sit nicely!  What offset are they?
Regarding refinishing, as your car is already grey, maybe going charcoal black could suit?

Offset is +38.
I'm not sure what I'll do as far as refinishing goes... I'll see if they grow on me as they are....

If you're not too fond of the chrome you can always just Plasti Dip them I guess. :)

It's hard to tell it's dirty when the car is silver. Seems nice and shiny to me… and it's looking great with the new wheels too
