new wheels on :)

Just had these babies put on yesterday, its a BRAID FULLRACE A in 17x7 ET50, according to willtheyfit.com it sticks out only 11,4 mm farther than the et68 wheel in 7.5 width which was my main concern as I couldnt live with the wheels sticking out too much.

very happy with how they look on the car, will post some better pictures soon.

Will keep the standard set for my winter tires, and probably will get these powdercoated in anthracite or black during the winter season, but as it is now, looks ok in white as well Also turned out 2 out of 4 of my current speedlines were a bit out of shape due to some potholes being hit, turns out they can be straightened back to shape which is good.

Anyway here they are:

They look really good! I think white suits them if you decide to stay with that colour!

Are they smaller than your older wheels? I've been itching for ages to get some nice alloys but I want the widest possible for the car so I can thump on 225s without extrusion.

thanks all! jimmyd81 - yes white suits them, but found a pic of a red 197 with the anthacite ones and they also do look great hence the idea

kazumz - the wheel is 7x17 so a 225 would not be a good idea, even the 215 feels a bit softer on this rim than it did on the 7.5 due to less stretch
