If you are planning on putting those 15's on just now you would really need some larger profile tyres or they will just look silly
If your steel wheels are 15's just swap th etyres over and it should look ok

to me that suspension looks too high
mines a 2.0l 16v GLX with 15's on
and its stance is low with no alterations
done to it, alloys look ok but they also
look a little lost

I agree the wheel look a little small with the low profile tryes.
I am guessing the suspension is high because you have it on jacks, may be worth going for a run and taking another pic, they may look a little less lost with the suspension settled down a bit.

The car isnt on jacks he has just sat the alloy in front of his original wheel the reason it looks lost is because it is sitting out and the hub wont be centred due to the larger tyres on the steelies

Them rims look OK, although I don't usually like whote rims they'll look good on the white pug.
As they
say you need bigger tyres on them. 195/65R15 is standard tyre on a 15" rim.

a lot bigger gap than on that car than there is with
mine
