Which wheels on a 2001 1.8i S?

[daemon]

I've just bought a 2001 1.8i S which i got cheap as the rear arches are starting to go and the alloys are naff and badly pitted.

The wheels are aftermarket ones and are 17 inch.

I dont like them to start with, therefore rather than refurb them, i thought i'd get a new set and use the tyres that came with them.

I'm currently thinking spoked rims in anthracite like these

But I'm not convinced they'd suit and would they alienate the car to potential buyers? (i never keep a car long)

Or can someone recommend something that would look better - the car is silver btw.

Well I like 'em.

17's are a bit big for the '5 though! 15's look fine and don't affect the handling...

Mk1 maybe. Mk2 is fine on 17s.

Car looks very tidy. New wheels look good too - what are they?

p.s. That's a 1.8i, there is no 1.8iS from 2001, just a 1.6i, 1.8i and a 1.8i Sport (otherwise known as S-VT) and a lot of special editions

Just got the paperwork back after taxing it - its 1.8 S-VT.
