I don't like after market wheels as a rule, but they are nice. 
They really suit the car, particularly in that colour. Nice one. 
Just out of curiosity, I note in many threads that some wheel sizes differ from the standard 15 and 16" to a size such as these shown, which are 17 and 18".
Can anybody tell me what effect this has on driving compared to standard size wheels?

I like very much - especially as I got the same wheels and sizes too, although in silver.
I made sure the tyres that went on give the wheels the same rolling circumference as the original wheels.
I found it tramlined more and was very twitchy, until I lowered the tyre pressures to a more normal level (fitter had them at 34psi!)
I had my geometry reset too, and this has made a difference, although the steering is still more sensitive than it was on the original wheels. I put this down to the lower profile tyres and less give in the side walls. It makes for a 'sportier' drive, which I don't necessarily prefer but I'll accept as I do prefer the more modern look of them.

Can i have my wheels back ?i set the front pressure at 24psi.I made sure the tyres that went on give the wheels the same rolling circumference as the original wheels.
