Had my eye on these wheels for a while now, and Ed (cheers fella :thumb: ) has done me a photoshop rendering of what they would look like....only now I'm not so sure I like them. ::) What does everyone else think? ???

Too shiny, not enough spokes.  You need some 16s.

I like them...
They must be a bit further out though...

Liking them Alot :thumb:

You'd def never park against anyone at a Abarth meet with another set. Have you checked the fitments? Will they fit?

I was looking at some slighty different wheels myself but was struggling to find the right fitment in the colour and style I wanted

I like the wheels just not on your car. Too Japanese.

Having had a textual conversation with K77NAN, I am uploading the pictures showing a) black finish b) white finish as he is not near his laptop. Red next maybe?
