Are these the right wheels for a DS3?

My Wife is viewing a DS3 Orla Keily soon. These cars all seem to have 17-inch low profile wheels.

Are these the tyres/wheels for this car? Or was the DS3 designed with a smaller type? Are you aware of any problems with the low profiles?

I've never heard of Orla Keily. Is she a designer? But yes, 17" is normal for a DS3 and while the ride isn't great it's not too bad on them. The best DS3 engine is the 1.6THP 150 or 155.
