They're not too disimilar to your vfs34s. Might keep my eyes out for a set of them

£550 set of wheels with £250 worth of tyres for £895 not exactly a good deal there , id pass & source the wheels from CM & then rubber them up yourself with something at least half decent , those "Grenlander xl " are about as budget as they come

Ah!

Correct, so would be £510 including the forum discount
Some nice new styles at similar money

Decided to go for the 788s in the end. My rear tyres are 255 so should be fine but slightly concerned about the fronts being 225. Worried they might be a little stretched on the 8.5 wheel..

Although despite not being a fan of the 666m wheels they do look pretty epic in gunmetal!

The fronts will definitely look stretched if you're using a 225 width Tyre.

Here's 225/35 on my old 19'' alloys. I chucked on cheap nangkangs to test the fitment. I believe they are one of the narrower fitting Tyre makes, so perhaps a premium brand may fit a little better? It will still be stretched to some amount though.

Cheers for that. I don't think that looks too bad to be honest. My tyres are RS3S and from what I've been reading they shouldn't be too bad.

Went marmite. Fancied something a bit bold for a while. Not convinced I've done the right thing though.

Love them or hate them...

Theres a green coupe for sale on either autotrader or ebay with those alloys and I think they look fantastic. Good choice.
