Nice, but I'd take the stickers off personally for that stealth look.

They look quite 'industrial' - in a good way.

Yuk. It's not a rally slag.

Sorry but I always believed in "say what you see"!

ET42 is pushing it a bit. Stock is usually ET35 so you're pushing them in by 7mm compared to stock. Not sure what my wheels are but I needed 15mm spacers to clear well. Different brakes though.

Nice wheels though - chunky

rally slag? think you'll find there nowhere near rally wheels lol!
