very smart, good condition, not a long journey to collect.
don't want to go above £150 really so i'm going to make him an offer. will get rid of the center caps (not my taste) and that's if i get them!
let me know what you guys think

Keep an eye on it and if you really want it wait till about 30 seconds then put in £150 and let ebay autobid do the rest of the work, bid too early and it will just bid up to infinity and bid too late and it wont register it in time. They look ok but although i love my 15s im already thinking of going up to 16s for some clearance over my bigger brake conversion

not keen myself but if there to your taste then go for them bud, if you get them for that price then bargain..

FEED ME MORE!!!!

They look like my alloys I have those centre caps St170 would be better. Im gettig different wheels so not changing.my caps

Check the size of the tyres as well, if they are the original 195/50/15 then they will more than likely catch if you are lowered, you would need 195/45/15 to minimise any rubbing

Scott

I had that problem 195/45's are so much better

cheers for the feedback guys. just asked her on the profiles of the tires. i do like the wheels, but will look much better without those center caps in my opinion. i just thikn multi spoke alloys look great on an si.
fair point dag but 15"s i reckon will allow the car to handle better, if i had trouble when it comes to fitting larger brakes, i will defo upgrade, but these will be temporary for a year or two

they are the original size i won't be lowering it yet though and when i do it will be 40mm max, will that still scrub? especially if im grinding my arches anyway?

well on 14's the scrub like a bitch. i gouged two brind new rear tires by having 2 people in the back! on a bumpy road mind so id rather just grind them.
okay thats a lie, i will be lowering it as soon as i find some decent lowering kits so you recommend i go for a lower profile tyre?

so do i leave this wheels and not get them or get them and buy a brand new set of 4 tyres?

If you can afford 4 brand news tyres, only about £120 for budgets. I'd get them, get some ST170 caps (Ebay) and they will look smart. there what your looking for and its your car so go for it, even if you get them and wait til you have cash for the tyres.

Good find, st170 centre caps are good good choice for them, dont pull them out and drive with none until you get some though like some people do because it looks silly lol i think they look ok as they are though. Get them powder coated white or black as they look mint like that on si's imo.

sounds like some good plans loumeister... but stupidly, i went out, put my max bid at 110 (not very high i know) had that feeling he would wait till last minute to bid me up and i just got in and he got it for 114 wasnt meant to be i guess! so the search continues!

thanks for all the advice guys, ill keep it all in mind. and could someone remind me of the offset for fords please?
