Its the centres that make them good imo :) Rep for you chap for being different :thumb:

I thinks it definatley suits the styling of your car. As joycey says it's the centre caps that give it that edge.

Love it more than the alloys. I'd like to see some day time shots to get a better idea, as the night obviously gives ambience :thumb:

Car is uber clean so it makes them look good, I like them also, prefer the Champion wheels but their still a nice set of 'winters'

This is exactly why I have been looking out for a set of 15 steelies for a while now - but none local (boo).....

Looks great, really in keeping and better than alloys I think.

Jay

What color and paint code did you do them in mate?

Bit late for winter wheels isn't it? Still they look quite smart, much prefer the Champion wheels though!

I like - winter wheels are some thing the v dub fans have been doing for years and yours look very smart. Good choice

Nice. Steels are nothing to get excited over, but its not like they are black with years of brake dust all over them.

I've always liked Black Steels and love 15"s on Novas, gives them a real sleeper look. Astra G 15" Steels are et39 which looks brilliant but does catch the arch a bit, which is a pity.
