No not at all, you go for what you like the look of, it's all down to personal preference and taste.

Myself I love the BBS splits, but they aren't every ones cup of tea.

The wheels in your sig are superb - how many 1000s would they cost me and what are they??

They were my old BBS RM's, they cost me £360 in standard form, but then I had the centres powdercoated grey and added the 2" outers, so all in all they cost me about £800. But I've now got a different set of splits which will cost just a teeny bit more.



Scour the classifieds on Edition38, as split's come up all the time.

Thanks mate. And the max width I should look at without rolling or surgery?

Yeah - I like 'em. Are they 15"? What width, would they fit without rolling, how much and what is your favourite colour?

On standard arches 7", but with a slightly trimmed plastic arch you should be able to fit a 7.5" RM ok

OK cool. Is there extra space at the rear or does that apply to both axles?

Both front and rear will require a little trim if you pted for 7.5"

These are a complete bargain but I fear they would not suit my car:

Are you still ok at 7" if you fit a 16" wheel as opposed to 15"?
