Thing what gets me about when we people sometimes fit big wheels, they usually fit mahooosive arches too, so the sense of being wide is somehow lost as sometimes the wheels can look 'overarched.

Your wheels look to have a fairly neutral offset, so you could maybe whip off the arches, and just fit the chrome arch trim, and having a little bit of poke will be a very cheap way to get the look.

ya was thinking that too but the wheels are kinda bad they came with the car and they seem to be a cheap wheel and has this markings on them that i cant get off
im not looking for it to be too wide either just something to give it a bit more of a curvie look if ya know what i mean ?? :D

No they are called different things by different companies. There may be some differnces. 12s are 100% nicer to drive on than 13s
