Yes - has to be utterly compromised in the ride quality and comfort area - which is just where the 75 usually excels.

It'd look pimp cruising down the coast of L.A. Cant imagine it'd have the same effect rolling down the back streets of essex though :lol:

They don't suit it, the acceleration'll be (eventually), as the guyz say it won't handle, and am guessing the wheels are half the value of the car...

And imagine trying to keep them clean OUCH :x

Somehow, on the 75, the massive wheels actually look good.

There's a black ZT round here on 19" chromes and OMG it looks good.

Are they any good, the 2.0 KV6? Power-wise I mean really.

Not going anywhere with this, just curious :)

Underpowered and tremendously thirsty, certainly in a car like the 75.

2.5 V6 is MUCH nicer :D
