Cool Alloy Advice

Recently got the new style fiesta edge 3 door in silver but as you may know it comes with a shocking set of rims. Finally decided to splash out on alloys but iv not got a clue what to get. So if anyone has any ideas on a great looking pair alloys or even just advice about what colour or style would look best then any help would be greatly appreciated, thankyou!

Keep the outer circumference the same or you mess up the gearing and handling. Go with some 16 inchers if there are 15 inchers on there but put a 40 or 45 profile tyre on it.

If you can get a near perfect side shot of your car i can play with in photo shop wuickly with a few different ones if you wish. It's what I always do when buying alloyes, gives you the idea of what your car will look like.

But the wheels that look a bit like vauxhall snow flakes look quite nice on the Fiesta Edge and they are standard Ford wheels aswell so you can keep the car close to original parts.
