   I have been looking around for alloys for a while now. I have got a Posi Blue VTR Mk2 lowered 50mm all round so wanting Dished Black Alloys with Polished Lip.
   
   After a while of looking around, these are a few I have took interest in:
   
   Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2 - 15" or 16"
   Team Dynamic Drifz
   Kei RSS
   
   Out of all these, thinking of getting the Kei RSS alloys in Gloss Black with the Polished Lip.

   The smallest size to get these in is 17" with a width of 7.5". Will I be able to fit these on a VTR lowered 50mm all round without scrapping the archs. I also have people in the back so I am thinking it might be a bit of a squeeze.
   
   Rep for another who can give me some good advice.
   
   Thanks.
   
   Mitch

   Doubt you'd be able to lower a VTR on 17's. You'd have enough trouble fitting the wheels as it is matey

   What is your Saxo lowered on them Drifz?
   
   Also what size are those Drifz? 15" or 16" and if I want 306 GTI-6 disks, will 15" be fine?
   
   Are those Drifz Gloss Black?
