Post by: the_stink on 26 August 2009, 09:12: I think the main problem is that they have been the 'wheel' of choice for a long time and have been over done and are very common, i was quite lucky that i managed to find a set of S3's

Post by: Steve_PD on 26 August 2009, 12:31: still need to be low, they dont look right with gaps in the arches :wink:
and if you got genuine ones you need adapters too which would bring the offset down very low

Post by: johnson6672 on 26 August 2009, 21:06: I have 17's and once its lowered i think they will look fine, but you need to lower for 17's, Do you fancy some scooby wheels, they will need spacers but will look different.
