Well, no need to ask whether they fit or not now......

I\'m really pleased with how it looks, but the car needs a clean now and my kit fitted. Considering I paid £340 for the rims, they are a great improvement over the BK299\'s that were on there before.

Nope, only 215/35\'s as they were the tyres that were on the rims before. As soon as they need replacing, i\'ll get proper size tyres.

Not yet. The rims and tyres were on the car when I bought it. I\'ve changed the rims and used the existing tyres rather than replacing four perfectly good tyres.
