|  One more time Hi guys, as the last wheels did not get a huge  , looking for input on these, saw them on a red Alfa 156 the other night and thought they looked GREAT  , and to clear any confusion, am thinking of getting 17's with 225/45's and NOT 20's  , all thoughts would be greatfully recieved  They should also be a lot easier to clean than the Asia-Tec's  |

| I love them as I loved the others too. It's personal taste but I like them lots and lots.

With spokes like that, you'll soon want to upgrade to some mahoosive brakes as they'll really be on show. But maybe that's a good thing Just out of curiosity, why not go for 18s ? Pete

| Tbh I think they'll make the brakes look very small which if your bothered about very small looking brakes might be a bad thing. If your not bothered about very small looking brakes or even small looking brakes then they'll not be a bad thing. I need a lie down..... |

| ahh the joys of euro spec cars... i think they'll look ok, from a side profile that isnt that difference in the size and shape of the octy and 155 so they should be ok. cant you get the local shop to try one against the side of the car and decide for yourself?

| Bryan, makes sure you get 205/50/17 tyres or you alter the rolling radius and affect the speedo reading. Quite like the wheel choice..I have these on mine although they're not quite that clean at the moment. 18'' running 225/40 tyres.
