I know they are polished but not a high chrome finish, I think they are 7's, but they are at a good price so what can i say, need to find out how much adapters are.

I have been offered porsche rims teledails, the offset is 23, with the fitting kits it will push out another 20mm, anyone know if these will fit my car, or are they going to rub like hell

are you sure the offset is ET23?

most porsche rims are in the ET52 as far as i'm aware, but spacers are over 10mm so you'd be looking at roughly ET35-40 in the end, but you're better of asking someone on here who has them

you might need a slight stretch to get them under the rear arches

they do teledials in 15 yes BUT there are two offset options, the et23 and et52

usualy the cheaper ones are 23 which means with adapters of 20mm you in theory have an et of 3 which is going to mean your wheels will poke out like a mutha' if you can get the higher off set then its all gravy baby

No problems georgie.

Yeah i liked them too. Looked immense when rolling. how low you planning on going on them? et36 i think they were right? the rubbing butchered my rear tyres when i was down 60mm and couldnt possible have rear passengers with them. but some arch mods should sort that mate.

I was going to drop it 40mm, the speed bumps by me and so high so I can't go no lower,

The idea is going it on a budget, I got money to spend loads on it, but I am planning to go traveing next year and would rather do that, plus it's a daily drive which does 60 miles 5 days a week.

What is the point I don't like half the cars on here, I just don't ask questions or pass comment, I think he is on about LUKED pic of there, and his car now is stunning.

What did you think of the wheels??????
