   Hi guys,
   I have had a photodhop done on my car, fallen in love with it and now found out the wheels that i had my heart set on, only come in 16's which are too big for the look i am trying to acheive so im a little bit stuck and feeling at a dead end wit the car and what to do.
   Do i go for it anyway on 16's.......
   Get a different set of Schmidt alloys.............
   Alternatively......does anyone know any similar looking wheels. I just love the chrome looking lip. Spoke colour does not matter obviously as that can be refurbished. Price is not an issue either.
   
   Or.........Do i just stop.

   how easy, difficult or possible would it be to get low profile or stretch tyres on the lenso's? to get as close to the look as possible

    cheers mate....... its a possibility but with the tyres that are on euro alloys, im sure it would be a bit of a tight fit and i wanted to go rly low. not sure what to do still to be honest,.

    just dont want to make the wrong choice as those rims are 1600 and thats without the refurb to make the centre spokes grey so its a serious decision

    i need some wheels that look similar, have to be euro though, not lenso's.
    Need same number of spokes and a polished lip. If anyone sees any or has any ideas then please let me know
