oh well never mind...

 

[Timmay]

that looks tidy as buggery!

 

[st3ve]

I like it, looks really good, lowered just the right height aswell.

 

[j111ase]

it couldnt really go any lower with a 45et as it rubs on the front already...

 

[Marky_]

Nice stance to it. CF is ace as well.

 

[Leeshez]

Looking good .

 

[Gorms]

like it a lot. Love what you have done to the bay. Top job with the wheels. Only been on the forum for two weeks but it's good to see something different for a change. Just a shame it's not a 200

[Chris V6 255]

[J03]

But they've been done already.

 

[Daz.]

Love the wheels!

 

[smitchell1]

Im actually a fan of those wheels, looks quite good!!

 

[jayxx83]

wheels are different and sit well, but think they would be more suited to a jap motor

 

[Cunney]

bit of a n00b question but is a wider offset a better way of going about a wider track than having spacers? Or can a non-standard offset bring alot of problems?

 

[pablo_ni]

offset/spacers - same thing. except spacers are removable.

 

[Rossy197]

Wheels look nice imo... Whats it lowered on... Looks mint

 

[Cunney]

You not have issues structual issues though with spacers? Heard a few horror stories, think the 182 needs that wider track looks wise, what sort of limits would you have with a 45 offset, i.e how low could you go? (on 16'')

197's have 17's....

dont think 16's will clear the Brembos?

Im talking about 182 mate, sorry should of said in the post :dead:

 

[Ollie82.]

That has to be the cleanest, nicest looking car park i've ever seen!

As for the car....well, those wheels aren't that bad actually.

 

[Ryair]

Well I really like the wheels and the carbon. The whole car is looking mint, and its much nicer to see something original.

 

[shadowsun]

I like it and the wheels. Sex!

 

[j111ase]

The spacer topic has been done to death. I've been running 25mm spacers on the 68et standard 197 wheels for 2 and half years now with no poblems what so ever.
68et + 25mm spacers = 43et.
New wheels are 45et
but only just clear the brembo's due to the shape of the spokes and the fact there is a bit of a dish to the wheels.


Thanks for ALL the coments, good and bad.
At the end of the day it's my car and I pay the bills for it,
so if you don't like it then I'm sorry but the world would be very boring if all our cars looked the same.
