I actually quite like those.... and Im picky as hell when it comes to alloys

...depends on how much they cost tho

Im sure I posted on this thread comparing these wheels to the ones on the S204 - whered it go  :shock:

ok - just read the board problems thread...phew, was starting to get a bit paranoid

They are alright, Im not so sure Id want to move from 14"s to 16"s though. They dont look half as nice either.

I can get those four of those Kosei rims with Eagle F1s for around £500.

I would end up on 195/50/15 - much better I gather... theres a bit of leeway on the width anyway I think. It might even be 215/45/15

Id probably go with silver, as if I do ever decide to go for a respray when Ive got a bit spare it will be dark, and silver will look better, and it looks good now anyway.


Hmm Im struggling over the colour now, this pic makes the anthracites look very nice:

For comparison, heres the silvers fitted:

Im thinking silver, I like the brighter look. Gonna order them later today with Goodyear F1s  

edit: ordered. The tyres are 195/50/15

That is the classic Golf GTi Mk2 tyre size   Fond memories of Bridgestone RE71s...
You really do have to have the right car/colour for the anthracite wheels - though imho all Impreetzas look better with them.

Get some good ones, with a rotating collar.

My mate had some cheapies and lost the key.  I was able to remove the nut with a lump hammer and a 19mm socket.
