What you going to do with your steelies?

They will be no use to me once the new brakes are fitted so they'll be for sale,at least 5 steelies and tyres,maybe 6 if i can find a spare alloy.

Trial fitted the new wheels today and i can't get them to fit over the lcr brakes without poking out of the arch,as i like to run the car pretty low i've decided my best option would be to sell the brembo's and keep the 312's.

More pics soon :wink:

KESKIN KT 1's

I can tell because they do them on only one piece, like these, in 2 sizes, which one these would be!

No mate,these are replica's 8X18 up front and 9X18 at the rear.
The genuine wheels have a very low offset on the rear and would poke out a mile once you factor adaptors into the mix.

The only way i think that you could run genuine would be to re-drill the rear hubs and discs

The price of the wheels is a good price,but once you factor adaptors and tyres your well over £1000
