Nice choice! What colour centres you going for?

Thinking to leave them black. Gloss black most likely. Been thinking about wheels with black in them for a while so can't see myself changing my mind in next couple a weeks. Still a lot of work has to be done before 9th (car fest, 1st show I will hopefully attend this year) so will keep this updated. If funds are right then I should get spacers this weekend :)

look forward too seeing a pic of a side view of them on the car!! agree they would look nice with the gloss black, nice wheels, nice car

Thanks mate. Wheels should be on in 2-3 weeks time if funds let me. So much other stuff going on at the minute that car sort of becomes less important. But I'm getting there :)

Bullet Steels arent they?

Love the look of them :) will have to check back when they're all fitted ;)

Yeah you are right..they are bullet steels. 15x8. Not too sure about offset. If I can remember correctly they are ET17. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Cant wait to see a side view pic with them on, looks wicked from the rear view mate

There's a shop that sells car parts and everything that is related to cars. Guys from there ordered them in for me. I might sell 2 of them at some point if I decide to go for camber again which I haven't decided yet :/

Heres test fit

Poke much? lol

Need arches rolled asap. Also rear wheels were wobbling alot after spacers were fitted. My guess they are not sitting flush with the hubs. Will try to get it sorted tomorrow.

Not sure exactly when arches will be rolled as everyone that does it are very busy atm.

More updates soon.

Fuck me.. That poke is mad.

I'm sorry, but how aren't you paranoid about your tyre popping off the lip?? :lol:

I'm just wondering if I can pull those wheels off. I'm not a big fan on front wheels poking too much :(

I'm sorry, but how aren't you paranoid about your tyre popping off the lip?? :lol:

Car is not used daily atm so not worried too much lol. Lets just hope for no accidents and surprises :)

I really need opinions here before I ruin my arches. Sell the wheels and look for new set or try to pull this off... :/

My opinion is that is just too much!!.....that would be acceptable for the rear but for the front it just doesnt work
