£790 delivered  :cry: just need the cash for tyres. pay day Friday so all will be sorted on the weekend.
was thinking on running 215/40/18 on the fronts and 225/40/18 on the rears.

ive been looking for rims for ages and never wanted to pay this much but these kept popping up so I bit the built lol :laugh:

That's exactly why I went with the 3SDM 0.01's They cost £700 odd with tyres (same spec your after) my wheels are also 8.5j front an 9.5j rear

Then I discovered there was no way at all to get the front on without spacers so I then had to fork out for hub-centric spacers, then I had to get longer bolts and locking bolts, all in all, total cost to get my wheels on was £998 on the nose! so be prepeared buddy, I really wanted the 0.06 but I think I totaled it to estimate cost around £1200-£1400 fitted.
