Very pretty, the suit the car very well.

Where did you get the chrome surround for your gear stick gaiter?

I think they look ok Mike. But, IMHO, only "ok", I've seen far worse on an S. You did ask...

I much prefer the original S Series slots / spokes or the Chim 5 spoke Imolas. However we're all different and some people probably look at my shadow chromed spokes and hurl so whatever you're happy with is the way to go wink

Hello Joe, the surround is polished alloy, it`s a manufactured by my own fair hands. I`ve seen them on Griffs and liked it so made my own.

Hello Longers, how`s your steed ? I do like these threads where owners ask the opinions of others, no two cars are the same and any mod is generally good if carried out correctly blabla

Nice job. Have you thought about making somehting similar to fit around the Kia indicator lenses to cover the gap and hold the rubber in place?

That sounds a nice mod too, it would match the chrome effect trim on the bumpers, I have original lenses fitted so would need to get kia lenses and figure out how to fit the surrounds.

Oz 8 spokes are my first choice, minalites next. Unsure about Griff/Chim wheels as they look a bit bland IMHO. Love the gear surround, you might get a few orders for those if you knocked a few up.

Wheels look OK, but wheel <-> body gap at the back doesn't look right.

I have a similar setup on my car - I have to say though I always think the gap between the arch and the tyres always looks too big on my car in my opinion.
I keep toying with the idea of larger wheels (I know the size overall will not change much).

For the record I really dont like minilites (no offense guys, just my taste) and I the the slots look great, just wish you could get them a little larger.

For what it's worth I think they look absolutely stunning, infact I would go as far as to say that any self-respecting S owner shouldn't consider any rims other than these.

P.S. I'll give you £20 a corner for the Minilites....
