Default impression on wheels & will they fit

Looking for wheels for a sazuka blue ap2 , was going to go with white but now am thinking gun metal grey might look more aggressive, opinions? I was looking at rota grid style wheels so i found a great deal on ebay on these My link car is just a daily so its not tracked. What do you think of these wheels? and will they fit??!! i was also looking at these My link but like the 6 spoke better then 7

the katana k102 will take quite a bit of work to fit according to the specs on that listing. those specs are very aggressive for the S. you should take a look at the wheel and tire section for sizing

Look for wheels in the offsets around 45-60. Don't fack your car up with fake ass wheels. Spend your money on great tires

recommendations?
7.5+40
8+45
8.5+50
9+40 to +63

A simple 8+45 front and 9+45 rears is nice. 225 front 245 rear. 17"

I dumped aftermarket wheels to go back to the OEM wheels. And good tires. As noted tires are much more important than the wheels anyway and the AP2 wheels look nicer than 95% of the aftermarket wheels as well.

Looking aggressive is fluff if the car won't corner!

I'm semi interested in a wheel upgrade but I've a lot to learn about the whole thing as I'm new to actually changing anything on a car (newby alert). This is the first car I've bought for beyond the A to B. I have a day to day 'blue too and wanted something that's going to look good on the road without trying to look like Vin Diesels stunt double. Visually, I personally think wheels look better a tone lighter than the body of the car what ever the actual colour is and was considering starting by potentially powder coating the current wheels white or finding something in silver? Outside of the obvious performance/fitment points, the look is down to taste and I don't think the darker colour work as well on light colour bodies but what do I know

Cheers
