    Alloy wheel dilemma

    Right then folks as much as I like the BBS style 17"s on my c70 I have always loved a certain set off wheels and would like your opinions on whether you think they would suit the gay gold monster
    Also hoping someone here is a wizz with photoshop and could put some on a saffy c70 so i could get a better view
    I personally think once lowered they will look stunning as i'm going for 18"s too
    Please leave your thoughts and thanks for looking

    oh yeah these are the beauties in question

    I would eventually like to go back to my massive 19s wot got 'arf inched. 18s are fine but not substantially different enough to stand out.

    I'm undecided, black, white and saffron.....the wheels do look nice though.

    I think the black looks ace....very Euro style, will work even better if the tyres are tucked right under the arches

    Id photoshop pro them for you but the programme keeps crashing my lap top ...should have stuck to MAC lol

    This is my lowered C70 on 17" Ortreras. I prefer the ride to 18 or 19's and will not go bigger than 17's again
