Alloys - New or Painted?

[SamT4973]

Hi all,

Toying with the idea of some new alloys or painting of my current ones.

I've got 16" OEM's, no idea of the name but there's a pic down below.

Ideally I want bigger but don't have the patience to try and get new wheels and tyres and then come to find out I c*cked up on the fittings or something.

Does anyone have suggestions of cheap alloy & tyre packages that will bolt on without issue. Or thoughts on a colour change of my current alloys? I'm floating towards painting but wondered what other people thought of the idea on these specific wheels.

Ta,
Sam

Check out Demon Tweeks for wheel and tyre packages with decent discount. I'd recommend 17 inch wheels for the balance of looking better but not too expensive and less harsh ride.

DS3 Bellone specs:
17x7 inches
ET25 offset
4x108 PCD

Tyres:
205/45 R17

You might need new wheel bolts though, as your current ones may not be the right length or taper for the new wheels.

[WTF]

I don't think I've seen those OEM alloys in gloss black? Could look really good!

Beautiful, just what I needed. I'll investigate.

This is what I'm thinking, trying something new...
