It looked good on the bigger wheels now you've painted the bumper tops. Although I realise you are't interested in the looks!

what size tyres are they? they look huge!

195/50 15s.

They'll look less crap when the car is a bit lower.

It already drive a billion times better, it accelerates faster, stops better and turns in without scrubbing

The 15s were 4 5ths the price of the 16s and the car will handle better.

They probably would have looked a bit better, but function comes before form

TBH, I think they're too small too, but if I'd gone for the 16s, I'd be massively out of pocket compared to how I am now as the wheels would have been more expensive, the tyres also cost loads in 195/45 16 and you can't get any decent track tyres in that size.

I wasn't expecting everyone to like them

You'd have been better with an original set of Zetec-S wheels, would have looked better than the new set, and more sleeper

They wouldn't have gone over the brakes though, so I would have had to downgrade to ST170 discs and calipers, or possibly something smaller....
