I like the LMs but there a bastard to keep clean and if there reps they tend to corrode on the lips what put me off them. The CHs reps look good and there easier to keep clean but again pretty common but out of all our choices Shady I think CHs look the best..

Ok guys so ive decided im going to go for these wheels IF they'll fit
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400531323981?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

2 X 8.5 X 18" 5X100 ET40 ALLOY WHEELS (FRONT)
2 X 9.5 X 18" 5X100 ET40 ALLOY WHEELS (REAR)

My tyre measurements are 225/45/18, will these alloys fit onto the newish tyre's i have or am i going to have to buy new rear tyre's? the car hasn't been lowered yet but just bought a JOM coilover kit.

Also will i need spacers?

BBS RS reps. Your tyre size will fit those rims with a bit of stretch. Best not to get spacers until you've got them on so you can see what clearance you have left

Gonna disagree with you there Wez, 225/40/18 will give no stretch on 8.5J and only very minimal stretch on 9.5J. Those wheels have high offsets which means you'll need a spacer to clear the coilovers on the front, 5-10mm should do it.

I also found 225,40,18 catch on the front pretty bad once you get your car pretty low so I went with a 215,35,18 on my fronts with a 5mm spacer to clear the coilovers think my offset is 42.My rears are 9s but stuck with the 225,40,18 not a massive stretch but still enough I was running 10mm spacers but with load in the back they caught the arche so I bought some 8mm which done the job.
