I am currently running the same rims, but in 18x8's and with 235x40x18's
Having "some" rubbing issues when the car is loaded, or when taking a dip in the road too quick. Looking at getting the rear arches rolled to solve the issue.
Otherwise, cracking rims
Have since fitted the centre caps too.

Ditto on the tyre size, looks a bit small. Saw a car with these on at the Mcrae gathering and they look even better in the flesh.

Saw your motor at Mcrae Gathering, thought it looked well sexy
LOL
I know some people don't like it (and compromises handling), its a different look with the stretched rubber but i think it looks the nuts and shows the rims off more
