Hi Steve
I have fitted the wheel spacers, and they make a huge difference to the appearance, I have not had chance to road test yet, as I have removed the Prodrive mud flaps, waiting for my new Rallytech ones to arrive and fit them before I put the wheels back on permanently
I will take a couple of pictures when it's all done

An update !
The spacers have been fitted, and as far a I am concerned the make a huge difference to the appearance, I have taken the car out on a road test and everything seems fine, however i did not have anyone in the back of the car to weigh it down.
The pictures are not the best but it gives you an idea of the difference, i will put some tidy pictures up once the Rallytech mudflaps are fitted.

They look great! Any chance of a proper face on shot?
I've lowered my wrx 30mm all round (hsd coil overs) with some good spacers I'll have a nice stanced look.

Sorry matey, I meant from the front and hell why not from the back!
How much did you say you paid for the whole set? Also what does hubcentric mean and how do you find the offset of your alloy?
Questions questions sorry!

The wheel spacers cost me £200 delivered £15 on copper grease, wire wool and thread lock, they are really easy to fit only took about an hour half and that's with cleaning up the hubs so the spacers sit nice and flat
this will explain hub centric and prove that they are the only ones to have

So I have taken a couple of quick pictures for you as requested:
thanks for the comments guys

I have done a couple of more miles with the spacers on and no problems at all
I have also put on the new Rallytech mudflaps and i have to say the quality is second to none
