This was the only one my tire guy could find that he thought would work. Ya think I'll have issues with rubbing or not? How do you think they'll look? Oh and they're also a little more bling then I'd prefer but at least they're round. Planning on 205/45 16s or if I don't have any issues with rubbing 205/50 16s. Might go to 215s too.

Like Todd and the guys are saying, chrome wheels on an English sportscar are a total no-no. Don't go there man.
That looks a very neat car, you will ruin it. Also, to leave it even marginally authentic you need to replicate the deep dish route of the wheels you have on there.
These are the wrong style to suit the car, and the fact that they are chrome to boot just makes them
Your car, your choice, but you would be making a big mistake.
