[hhh1234]

Look pretty gd. what size r they 18s or 17s

 

[Andi]

Just needs decked and posible rear spacers and its a winner

 

[lc_allan]

Very nice, I like force 10's

 

[olaf]

They are 18s.

And indeed it does need lowering! Keep watching (not for a little while though )

Looking sweet mate! Now im sure i was sent the wrong colour But i have got used to mine now. Maybe one day i will get them toned down a bit?

Hang on I think your car is a bit too black now so if me and you swap, Job is done!! What do you think?

No your car looks good But had you thought about spacers on the back? Its something i will be doing.

 

[olaf]

Daniel you've got Hyper Black havent you?

I must admit my mate was telling me to get them, but I prefer the Matt Gunmetal, although they look totally different in real life to the pics of them I'd seen online.

 

[lofer]

I like em

 

[danieltm]

Yours are gunmetal? I thought you wanted hyperblack? Sorry mate i have got myself in a muddle

Yes i ordered hyperblack but as you just said they look very different in life so i wasnt sure if i had been sent the right colour or not? Anyway yours look good, I want that colour now

 

[lc_allan]

Does anyone know if these need spacers to clear the brembos on an LCR?
I was gonna get my OE's powder coated but I'm considering these in Gun Metal. I can sell the standard rims to recoup some of the cost.

 

[Ninja]

very nice Will look amazing when dropped a little

 

[RikH]

nice one
suit the car well

they just look really small though......

 

[olaf]

I know they look small

They are 18s though.

Hopefully look a bit better when its lowered.

Look wicked mate, mine will look very similar hehe They will look a lot bigger when the car is lowered.

were they much lighter than the standard set? If they are is the car pokier?

 

[stuart86]

looks good

now reduce that arch gap

 

[Vicky M]

Nice choice in wheels, think they look good

 

[jonjay]

How much did they set you back Olaf? Why 18's and not 19's?

 

[olaf]

They were £850 all in with Falken FK452s.

Didn't do them in 19 and I decided to go for 18s anyway.

You going for 19s then Maz?

Might pop down to BBT on Saturday if your going to be there for a while?

 

[slick]

Ollie nice one son..

Personally i would have gone Toyo or similar tyre, they makes the wheel look larger toghther with slamming it!!

I'll be at BBT saturday to with my Calipers!! Not fitting them, just showing maz the internals and etc for references...

EDIT:

Again a perfect example of what i have been trying to show people dark wheels look smaller than they are.. you have to go one inch bigger to get the look of what it really is!!
Only way you can pass this is to have a shiney edge, but not a dish rim, as they has the same effect as dark wheels, it makes the wheel look one inch smaller... hence i had to got 19" with dark and rimmed wheels.. and people still think they are 18"s...
