My 5th set in 2 years but these will be used as 2nd choice/non summer wheel.

Recieved them today, opened them, to find there half an inch less than what i ordered. gutted. (missunderstanding along the way) but maybe its a blessing in disguise and that these are the best width for standard arches. and suppose i can go lower on them.

The inside of the wheel wont rub on the shock (i hope). as its the outside of the wheels thats widened, not the inside. Plus there a et40 steelie anyway

Got some Q's for you mate, if you could answer them that would be great:

- Where you get them th line wheels and how much?
- What was needed to fit them as the ET must have been well out?
- What do you mean by "De-Bolt" the arches?
- How did you get that plate registered to your car?, its european yea?
- What springs is the front sitting on?

Cheers mate, really inspiring car, mine going to be a Track/Rally slag once finished but i would love to know the answers to the above Thanks!

Can get them from a number of websites, but main ones are rennesport and rimstyle. looking at alot of pennies. well over 1k +++

- What was needed to fit them as the ET must have been well out?

Nothing was needed to fit them. and et is 29 with a width of 8. ild say that was the widest i could get on a standard arch. but the stretched tyre brings it more inside the arch which is better for lowering. and so does the extreme arch modifications.

- What do you mean by "De-Bolt" the arches?

Bolts are used to attach arches to car. remove these. (may be best to then grind inner arch away) and then just tigerseal arch back on.

- How did you get that plate registered to your car?, its european yea?

Pressed plates which are on are illegal. and the ld one is for show use only. however dubmeister do legal pressed plates now

- What springs is the front sitting on?

Its on fk coilovers. so it can be raised with ease whenever. and its 100mm custom springs.

Cheers mate, really inspiring car, mine going to be a Track/Rally slag once finished but i would love to know the answers to the above Thanks!

Cheers matey.

Banded Steelies now powdercoated white. damm impressed with the outcome. wheels seem to look wider, but not 100% sure that all white will be the final product YET. Having ideas of having the centers black or maybe seeing what a chequred black rim would look like.
