Fitted black on Red 197 and got :(

[grrr]

OK The snow is still in Russia on the streets, but due to traffic jams most of the week i used to underground, decided to bolt on my summer wheels, and i depressed, they look like 13"
H&R springs are on their way, mid april promised. If they are white coated, will it be better?
What do you all think about it?
17x7.5 ET55

[Ed...]

are these 17 inch with lower profile tyres on grr?

 

[grrr]

Nope its 215/45 17" Conti's stock. Maybe because 197 non-Cup looks like a Jeep?

It's always a problem with rims who's spokes don't go to the top edge of the rim - they look optically smaller than they really are. But tbh it doesn't look that bad. Think it will look way better if/when you lower the car :thumbup1:

I dont think it looks bad at all mate!

You do need the lowering springs on it though! Once they are on it will be sat perfectly, the offset is spot on, I would love mine to be sat like that!

has your car been driven for a bit since you put the wheels on? looks like my car does after i have lifted it for changing the wheels. A few hard left and right flicks and she is back to normal. just a silly question

I knew it before, but maybe because of dark paint? If white or it's no style?

My prior car was Toyota Auris it's on 18" black:

Then i re-looked and de-tinted the car, and got 17" JDM-look wheels

And the spokes weren't till the end of the rim
