But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Thing is, they never really come up cheap 2nd hand, so then your looking at buying new ones.

for 15's thats 500+

You can get a decent set of rm's for 600, or could spend similar money on a tatty set, new lips and diy the centres.

Also the lensos DONT split, so you cant go any wider.

I also think the offsets look a bit crap:



Not digging tuck tbh.

That tuck looks pukka. I used 10mm spacers on the rear. Too much tuck and it looks rubbish. need the right amount
