8x18 with 225/40 Falken's, they are a 42 offset which seems to sit better than 35 plus I have room to play with spacers etc.

I really like the wheels Wayne, although as said before, a nice drop would really set the car off :cool: :cool:

If i'm totally honest they took a few minutes to work for me, then I looked back at you're other choices and decided that you've made a good choice, BBS and BBS style is everywhere, even my car! something different gets my vote and I certainly don't think they look chavy.  I think half the reason it took me a while was because I too think it could do with 10-15mm drop.  :lipsrsealed:  You must have some crazy ass speedbumps in your area. However, i'm sure setup wise it's still spot on for handling where it might not be if it was lowered.

Thanks Shaun, that is the problem it drives spot on, I have always found lowering a car tends to ruin it.

The trouble is Rob that a good quality lowering set is not going to be cheap and at the end of the day all it will lower it is 15mm

What about the Eibach 25mm Pro Kit drop? (actually drops about 20mm) Made for the original damper.
Got them on mine, the drive is a lot better and I mean a lot, still cumfy to. I don't like it silly low myself.  :lipsrsealed:

Not meaning to push you into it or anything, just I was paranoid about being to low and ruining the drive and ruining the dampers, but I'm well happy with the Eibach's.
