Cheers buddy. I love the new wheels. Will be even happier whenI drop it a bit and the rear isn't sitting like a 4x4.

Cheers guys!

Knew I had to have the rims as soon as I seen them! =P~

I know what you mean about the wheel looking off-centre at the rear, I noticed it in pics 4 and 5 especially. Don't know if its due to the car sitting to high. :-k

I'm thinking about a 30mm drop all round and some spacers on the rear to push them flush with the arch.

Will undoubtedly post more pics when the lowerings done.

Cheers

Will look the dogs nuts when you lower her... 40mm will look real nice imo.

Good work \:D/ \:D/

I'll have to get the measuring tape out and see how low I can afford to go. 40mm would be ideal if I aint going to bounce off the arches!

is it just me or do the wheels on the front look like they have more of a dish than the rear?

Cheers mate.

The fronts are more disehed than the rear. The last few pics show it well, must be something to do with the wheel widths.

They are different widths and offests. The fronts are 7.5" (ET25) and the rears are 8" (ET30). I don't think the the rears would go on the front without hitting the strut anyway.

ET25!!!??? Woah, that's way out! You should have at least an et of 35 front and rear.

I love the wheels mate, but as has been said, that rear looks seriously out of alignment. I'd haev it checked straight away.

I thought the offset was kinda small on the front!

I'm getting lowering springs and spacers (for the rear) fitted soon, so I'll get all the alignment done then.

It doesn't handle badly, its actually better. Should I notice a handling issue?
