Hi folks

I'm for changing the wheels on my car as I was never that fussed on the MV2s if I'm honest. I've always liked these wheels, and the fact I've never seen another car with them on makes me want them even more. Someone has photoshopped them onto my car, so I would like to hear what you all think!

Adam

Serious? I thought they looked just about as good as it gets lol. I'm still open to suggestions, looking something in silver, with a nice polished lip, in 19".

I agree, they look a lot better in the flesh. A photoshopped pic doesn't do em justice. ( are they dynamic IIIs ?)

If you can afford them, then get em

It's interesting to hear others views! I've not seen the rims in the flesh yet, but I think I prefer the version with the studs on view.

I'm think it's gonna be 19s TBH as I've no intention of tinkering with the suspension, and to pull off 20s I'd need to go lower.
