Seen them on a Siver Grey SE, they have a bluey metalic look to them not as silvery as in the pics. I liked what I saw in the metal, as you can see the details of the lens which is the same as the normal lens. however I agree that they look "Chad Valley" on the photographs in this thread. Your call, I pinched the idea of the of the 172 19"ers from you, I'll see how much stick you get before I commit

I am not a fan of them. That's why I tint tails.

Maybe on this particular picture they look ugly....
I have been considering them for my new Silver Grey with M-kit as I wud like to have a really clean look. Do the shades (car paint and white lights) really match fine, mixterk?

This site has a better pic. They look more like the units i saw in the Silver Grey SE. I think thay will look better with the M sport body.

I'll give them a miss. I think they need to be a bit more subtle, perhaps slightly smoked.

Anyway nice part of the world you come from, spent a lot of time in the NE working. Went to St. James's Park recently for a dinner with Sir Bobby. Down with the mackems!

I've only done about 400 miles on the 19's so far as I had the std 135's/18" tyres on delivery. There was a delay on the 19's so my dealer kindly offered to change them at a later date when they became available. Free rubber!
I should think with all the torque they won't last long - especially the way I drive.

Having said that my previous car still had 3mm on the back Dunlops when I part chopped it.

Heres the old look: -
