yeah looks good :clap:, just make sure you get lower profile tyres to go with it if the alloy is bigger than your current ones to keep the rolling radius the same as now. If you don't your speedo and MPG will be out..

Should be ok.

Check this out to decide what tyres to use, if the new alloy is the same size as the old one you can use the tyres you already have. If different you need new ones.

For example when I bought my car it had 17" alloys and 205/40/17 tyres, however the stock wheel was 16" with 205/45/16 tyres. Using 205/40/17 with 17" alloys kept the total wheel the same size as the new tyres were lower profile.

hope this helps

yes, make sure to double check they are ok before spending any money! Perhaps others here have used this alloy and can comment.
