headlights work yes, they arnt to bad actually. Its only a very very thin film of paint, so it makes the shiney black, but in actual fact they arnt that dark.

Would look better with lighter alloys, but then I like wheels to contrast.

And as that's what the thread's about that's all I'm commenting on.

Would look better with some multispokes or thick 5 spokes.... the ones you have would even look ok if they had silver rims. Just a bit too much black... needs a bit of highlighting somewhere.

Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's. Superb wheel and very light. Providing you don't get the ditchfinder that Halfords try and tell you are great tyres they really work a treat

I second that! bought mine from SWT ( south west tyres) who are the people motor world etc.. buy theirs from so you always get a good price and generally better tyres. Mine came with Toyo Proxes T1 and they were great! Really stuck to the road.

tIve always found the fiesta a car of balance, and although i did buy these wheels from halfords. naughty me. And with 16" wheels, even crap tyres have a nice balance of slight understeer, but brilliant responsiveness, and no matte how hard i try i cannot get the backend to go walkies. The car will understeer as the backend goes, so its always sideways as apposed to backend out, which id rather personally. Gives me a little confidence enjoying myself.

I will invest in better tyres soon, but as you may appreciate, funds dont come well when your below minimum wage, long live apprentischips. Gripe over lol

Not to my taste either tbh. I don't like the headlights, and i think the alloys could be lighter.. otherwise it will forever look like your tires have been driving on a dirt track

Well, I think that looks mint, could do with a clean tho! Although, if most of the roads round your area are dusty, then maybe black wasnt the most suitable color =p

Really don't like those wheels mate, everything else i like just something about those wheels :)

A nice set of multispokes would be nice and probably in anthracite as opposed to black :)
