Hmmmm  :undecided:

Polished rims on 15s with the black make them look really small. Maybe just need to see with the spacers on.

Look great off though!  :grin:

They look great  :cool:

Some spacers will soon get them sitting better.

Cheers for all the comments, pretty much confirmed what I thought! They do look pretty small and i'm really not sure if I like them :undecided:

I'm gonna speak to Benvictors about getting some spacers made up, the arch gap at the rear looks a little more obvious with them as well so I might wind the coilovers down a little more. However its a little impractical as it is so don't really wanna go much lower :undecided:

I'm gonna go clean up the wheels (the tyre fitting place got crap all over them) and use some trim restorer to blacken the tyres and i'll get a decent pic up from a camera rather than my phone :wink:


Also what are peoples thoughts on width of spacers? Wheels are ET43 so I was thinking 20mm rear and 15mm front? :undecided:

I agree they do look small but I got them cheap & have had (some) fun refurbing them :grin:

Cheers guys :afro:

Another quick snap:



The fronts look better than the rears and I think that's because they tuck so much :sick:
