I like the wheels alot!
I've just bought a set of similar ones for my car too and I was wondering how will they look with the proper tires... The old 18" wheels were too unconfortable because they required 215/35/R18 tires, the car is pretty heavy and the romanian roads are severely damaged. The only problem is that I will probably need wheel spacers on the front, since they are all 8,5 or 9 inch wide, but the front has a smaller ET and will probably hit the strut (haven't tried the front yet). How does the car handle with the new wheels, compared to the original 15" ones? Is acceleration better or worse? Are the new rims, together with the tires, heavier than the original steel ones? I'm going to buy 215/40/R17 tires for all the wheels, I user another tire size calculator and that is the best tire size for no speedometer differences (must check if the tires will fit the rim width) Hope you don't mind if I add a couple of pictures with my "new" wheels:
