I guess some daylight will let me do them justice with a proper photo (and some centre caps!)

I think the quality of the pic helps the look. I'd have left it 'til it was a bit darker outside though.

I think it looks well. Good, full arches.
Somehow the drizzle of dog pee in the foreground of the 1st picture frames it nicely though. Is it possible to photoshop that back in?

A couple more pictures before it gets dark again.... I don't think they look too big, or stick out a great deal more than standard wheels. Style is a personal choice, I can see how some don't like them... I don't think they would look right on a car other than a black one, but I am pretty happy with the way they look on my car. Some wheel caps will tidy them up a little as well.

only weighed with tyres on, originals were Bridgestone, new is Goodyear. 17.4kg std vs. 18.3kg for the fronts. I guess most of the extra weight is the wider tyres with some extra tread. 21.3kg std vs. 21.5kg for the rears. just been out for a good drive, no real noticeable difference, a little heavier on the steering and no rubbing that I could tell. lock to lock on the front doesn't appear to cause any issues, but wasn't expecting any as the wider 195 Goodyear tyres have been put on std wheels by many people already.Did you weigh them before tyres installation ? Thanks

I'm sure they would look better either all silver or all black - again a personal thing, but I detest the polished spokes wheel phenomenon that manufacturers seem keen to splatter their cars with. Especially depressing when the likes of McLaren do it to a new 650S or something..Its about as bad (maybe worse) than the Lexus style lights that started appearing all over Japanese cars years ago.. /rant-off
Weights seem perfectly fine. Someone running a 'track' semi-slick (as in heavy) tyre in chunky sizes will have the same weight as those. Your ride quality will still probably be better than them too..
