    I think the size looks well and in proportion with the car mate. A good choice and nice wheels. They look very similar to those fitted to the late phase 2 se sport models.
    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....

    Looks good.

    17s are best on the 850's, big wheels don't always look better.
    I prefer the 850's and s/v70s on 17's and then lowered to suit.

    Looks tidy, not really ever been a fan of aftermarket wheels but they do suit the look of the car.

    Wink Cheer's Andy

    I know exactly what you are saying Andy, if it was a R or a T5r, i would have gone for a Set of TITAN or Volans.

    But She is just a 855 T5, Work in progress, i really wanna get this Vehicle as quick as i can, as reliable as i can, and as clean as i can. On a limited/ relestic Budget.

    She's really getting somewhere now, and feel engine/turbo work is next on the cards.

    there a bit funky, not sure what they'll fit with that tyre size tho. P2's have 235/40/18 so the 235/45/18 will rub like mad on a P1/850
