Get some pics up of the spacers if you get a chance please. I'm interested in the same size all round (although not for a while) so it'll be good to see how much the push the 2118s out.
What offset are yours?

Jon got it right. The larger the et number the smaller the offset and vice versa.
Oh and you forgot to add TPI bolts to that list

Haha, I'm only joking mate
I washed my wheels yesterday after about a month The only downfall with them is that when yet get wet they seem to go rusty on the inside of the looking wheel nut groove Just a little heads up if your buying from new.

If i do buy them bud il probally not bother with locking nuts ! Where i live most of the people are not that intelligent they wouldnt know how to jack up a car lol and plus when I lower my car they got no hope of getting a jack under to take the wheels off haha . Getting quotes this week for wheel refurb i hope !
