i have my heart set on these bushidos and i think they suit my gp quite well, next week when i go to get them i will put them up against the car to see what they will look like but will make sure they are what i want.

so anyways what you guys think? the first picture is just with alloys, but the second is lowered with a light tint on the rear lights which hopefully it will end up looking like.

and headlights, skirts, wing mirror, door handle, glass beside the mirror, side repeater and a VTEC badge.,lol:D
 
Multi-Spoke would look smart on it mate but alloys are personal opinion are'nt they so if you like them go 4 it!
 
I think the colour/texture of the ground is having a dizzying effect with the alloys, but otherwise looks great lowered.
 
thanks for all the comments guys, i personally think that they look good, they do look more bling in the picture than they would in real life, but il post pics once they have finally been fitted hopefully a week today on my birthday!!!!
 
I'd have to say no.. .

I dont think they look right and theyre quite big gaps between the spokes on them, which means with your car being the 1.2 the little front discs and rear drums are gonna be blatently on show.. .

I think a good set of multispokes are the type of wheels that best suit the GP, i did look once when i was bored at wheels and it is very difficult to find a set to suit the car.. .
 
having seen a few lower models ie.actives,sports with after market wheels put on. i honestly think the gp only suits multispoke alloys the car has no angled parts to its design so the wheels you show in the pic are angular and very focus st.i will be puting 18"s on my car when i get it back from the bodyshop......??????.stick to the classic design not contempoary.just my opinion though
 
i;d just say:

bear in mind how tricky they may be to keep clean,
 
As someone has quite rightly already said when it comes to stuff like this its all personal preference. When i wanted to paint my wheels loads of people said not to do it, i did it anyway, and now those people have changed their minds. If you like them then go for it. They are very much Focus ST and in my opinion the cars arent a million miles from each other.

its all about my budget as well to be honest with you all, being a student finishing my a-levels in a few weeks, i was going to go for the oxigin's in this similar style but they are again too expensive but not much difference in the way they look really, i know i should just save for the perfect set but i like these, i have seen a set not far from where i live on a fiesta and the wheels look really nice. i am going to consider others but hopefully will get some either wednesday or saturday!!!
 
Yeah i no what you mean mate, you have just got to do the best with the budget you have and as long as your happy thats all that matters. Good luck with sorting it.
