Honestly, I prefer the design of the originals too. But I prefer how these sit. So that's the way I'm going. I can't stand having the wheels sit so much in the arches.

This is my new car (Well it's leased):
Dat gap!
Waiting to here if the lease company will let me change the wheels, they're awful.
This is what it should look like:

Amazingly awful, god only knows what they were thinking.
Changing to a spec with better wheels added 50% to the lease price though, so I'm hoping I can just buy my own set, I believe the lease company are ok with looking at reports online but will check before buying a set.

Needs the door handles to be set lower.
Yeah, them wheels are absolutely rank. Can't imagine the leasing company having a problem. They will get back a car with almost new tyres and unmarked wheels, ha ha. But that gap can't be all wheels. That must be sitting lower onto them wheels surley?
Nice spot on the door handles too. Whoever thought that was a good spot for them needs shooting.

Even the base spec S model comes with better looking wheels.

This is the standard S model. I think it may be one of the batch of 700 specifically for the NHS lease company. They probably got a cheap deal.
The cars lovely, I'll treat it to some nicer wheels don't fear.

Why bother asking the lease company just change them for what you want. What’s the phrase? It’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission

To be fair it probably drives better on the smaller wheels

The lease includes replacement tyres. Wanted to know if they would cover new tyres after a wheel change/whether it was limited to a certain size or anything.

Its a fair bit more efficient on the 18s aswell as a nicer ride.
