Very nice car :) love those rims too, sits perfect in my opinion :thumbsup:

i brought them when rotiform first came to the uk so i paid £800 for just the wheels and another £200 on tyres. but now i know you can get a set for around 650.

coilys are wound all the way down, no spring retainers in the rear either.... just need the fron to go lower. its around 90/100mm but the wheels are that big it dosent seem it.

Hi dude, been looking at this thread a lot until today because I finally received delivery on my rotiforms! I went for BLQ but same et and stuff. I'm running a 205/40/17, will this be alright and do the wheels tuck nicely on the rear. Or will I scrub loads lol. Can't be dealing with more scrubbing like my last wheels :(

depends on how low you are tbh. mine now I've had to raise the rear to stop it as I've damaged one of my rims by it bashing off the arch.

but yes i run 205/40/17 falkens as they give the best stretch to clear the arches. but ill put some photos up in a min of how close they sat before i raised it.

also just brought 5mm spacers for the rear to see how far i can push it haha.

when they go back on, there will be a way of finding out how to go lower.
