Go for it. Worse case scenario you don't like them but have an ideal set of wheels for winter use 8-)

That's because the 5G without a lip. If it had a lip and the angle of the photo was different, it would have looked nice. Not having a front lip makes the 5G look poop. :oops:

Yeah I agree with that (the lip thing)... but still... I think even if they were of a decent offset... :| . Just my taste!

At £46 for the set, I want some!
I could paint them yellow and make it look like I'm running on a set of spacesavers ....
.... or I could use 'em for winter and flog my standard 5G wheels.

Yeah that's not the best pic of steelies on a 5th, missing lip aside (I can't find any pics at the moment though). But it's only going to look better than that if Craig does it himself, so if he's happy with how that one looks then definitely go for it!

But before you get those specific steelies, find out what the width and offset is. You don't want them lost in the arches and you obviously don't want them sticking out too far either.
