I'm a big fan of the look of minilite-type wheels on '5s, but on almost all photos I see there's something I find not quite right. There is however one picture I've found that hits all my buttons..



This to me has everything just right and in perfect proportion, trouble is I have no idea what wheels they are, what size, what offset, etc. I'd hazard a guess that they're 17s, but am not sure.

Any help from folk more knowledgeable than me would be much appreciated!

Not seen them in 17" before, compomotive may have done them in that size but not listed on thier site now. 16"s are on here http://www.tyresave.co.uk/minilite.html

I think those could be panasport wheels.

could be Panasports, but in that size, I think they are more likely RS Watanabe wheels. Possibly 8x17 at the rear.

It mostly looks that good because it's been lowered so far - looks about an inch off the ground! Great for looks but useless for driving around in this country.
