Alloys similar to FR/Cupra style

Hey, Ive got a 2006 Ibiza Sport and ive been looking for a new set of wheels for it. I like the 16" sport alloys iv got but i want to fill the arches a bit more. I really like the FR/Cupra style wheels but havn't been able to find any lookalikes. Iv just come across a set of 17" Fox Premier 5 wheels , which look quite similar and are a pretty good price.

Just wanted a few opinions on what you think of them and wether you think they'll look better than the sport wheels iv already got, or if u know of any replicas about?

Thanx

Do bear in mind though that you'll struggle to 'fill the arches' without lowering it due to the Ibiza's hideous rear arch gap

Thanks for that link, very helpful. Bit pricey when you add the tyres aswell. But they r really nice. I would really like to lower my Ibiza but im just a bit wary since i got my last car a 106 lowered 35mm , it looked really nice but as soon as i got someone in the back it would rub like hell, that was with 15" alloys and the arches rolled . Im worried im guna have the same problem , and i dont fancy that on this one bein a fairly new car although it would look lovely.

Peugoets rub really bad. they are one of the worst cars EVER for rubbing! Im pretty sure you can lower an Ibiza by 30mm and you wont get any rubbing at all. dont take my word...but im pretty sure... :)

Hmmm, im so tempted now, they do look lovely lowered and with a set of fr style 17's it would look the B*****ks. How much did it cost u to get Eibach springs and fitting? Is there no rubbing at all even with a few people in the back??????
