Before you start screeming I just put these on as it is going to get
sprayed next week, so while its away I will clean and wax the original
wheels (and fix a slow puncture. But I quite like the look:wink: so these will be my winter wheels, they are 18" but have a 215/ 35 profile..

looks ok but still think the gp ones look better but under stand why you are doing it

As said fair enough for a week but you cannot keep it like that IMO. I think special editions and more so the gp shouldn't be altered in anyway. I actually like these wheels but not on a gp. Maybe you could get replica gp wheels for the winter instead.

TBH i quite like it, but it cant be just any wheel, i think you have picked the correct wheel for the car.

Same applies, thats my opinion

I'm one of the few, but I think that looks the nuts. I love the GP, but the only thing I don't like on them is the wheels.....love that!

Have to say I've never been a big fan of the GP wheels... BUT ... while these 'temporary' wheels are OK, there's just 'something' not quite right on a GP. They're just not... 'Motorsporty' enough! These wheels are more show than go - what a GP needs is some dark and serious Track Stylee rims to give its best look I reckon.

It's a no from me. Think they spoil the car IMHO

I likey :smilewinkgrin:

Those wheels have a nice off-set, they'd probably look REALLY cool in black or dark anthracite too.

Maybe I'll start a war here but I think it should be dropped 40mm all round, the arch gaps are pretty off-road :hand:

:thumbs up:

Its amazing how wheels can change the look of the car! I like them a lot, but the GP's standard ones do make it look a lot more special.

And what are you getting sprayed?

good point if someone had said which wheels to be standard I'd say the other wheels, but there is something very special about the GP.
