They look a squillion times better than the Rover 25 wheels and look just like the Vesas fitted to 440/460/480s ...


Nice!

Leos still do it for me on a MkII though.

ive got the vesa wheels might well have a photo shoot with them on tomorrow, these have got bit of a lip to them unlike the vesa alloys, and they stick out a bit more

Very nice indeed! Love the wheels, need a bit of dishu though, in my opinion. I prefer the no mudflap look, as like you said, I like seeing the tyres from the back. That, and when i got mine, i only had one mudflap anyway!

these bm wheels are 7j and i believe the vesa are only 5.5 or 6?

yeah going to take my mudflaps off tomorrow, and i like mud splatted up the side of my car ha

also when i lower my car its going to be too close, so going to put 195's on them

those wheels look great! i wanted a set a while ago. good job on the centrecaps too!!

ive got quite a few sets of alloys for my car now ha

Much better will look spot on when lowered... I'd refit the BBS centre caps though and fit volvo badge centres rather than the large Volvo centre caps. Way better than Vesa's which I'm not keen on, look far too 'flat' and narrow.

I'd be tempted to go to 195/50/15 tyres too for a shallower sidewall and cheaper tyre choice

yeah thats what my dad said to do with the caps, yeah the vesa's are only like 5.5j when these are 7j so bit more poke and these have a bit of a lip

I reckon 15x7's are the ideal size for 300's. You might find it'll tramline more but for looks/performance definitely a winner

what does tramline mean? sorry ha

{edit} ignore

Ha ha! Tell me bout it. I found out the harder way last night, had to do some impromtu arch rolling! 4 guys on the back, one jack handle, and me driving very slowly backwards and forwards! Not so much pulled out, just rolled the bloomin sharp inner edge.

On't motorway, in the slow lane, you get lorry grooves where the trucks have been, or "tramlines". the larger wheels will exaggerate the camber settings. It'll hop in and out of the grooves on the road. thats what mine does anyway.

haha yeah bet there well sharp, really looking forward to lowering it and getting the full bbs set on
