Love the wheels - Very nice! 8)

But, I'm afraid the tyres ruin it for me. :(  They leave massive gaps in the arches!

I agree with above- the wheels look awesome and suit the car down to the ground, but the wall of the tyre is too small- leaves too much gap, eg in the top pic you can see it.  if the tyres were 2225/40s it would prob look better as there's a lot more tyre to fill the arch. but overall, love the wheels

thanks but what do you mean by gap do you mean its not low enough?

A little bit there (nothing too tragic, though & nothing that some 225/40's wouldn't sort out ;)), but mainly, I was thinking at the bottom of the arches, near the floor. ;)

Look's nice mate! although kind of agree with the tyre looking a bit small. Just have to wind it down a bit more to compensate!  :cool: :grin:
