to be fair i wouldnt call a 255 35 18 a stretch on a 9.75 rim at all pretty standard if u ask me if it was on a 10.5 then yes that would be a stretch. i havnt lowered the car any more .plenty of ground clearance. the car is still as usable as it was before apart from having more rubber on the tarmac.

IMHO it would look better with wider tyres on BBS/thicker spoked rims

its cool i know what your sayin .like you say all down to personal preference. im happy with the way it looks. to be honest that's the biggest tyre i could get on with out having to do some serious arch work. and i wasn't wanting to go down that route

Love it mate. As a newbie to the scene I love reading what others are doing, comprising all the new touches and filling my head with ideas when I finally get mine purchased!
Liking the concave on the wheels, not seen many wheels like that aside from the generic Rota stuff.

cheers for the comments lads. there is something missing and i cant put my finger on it either but over all im very happy. as above definatly going down intercooler route, as for wheel colour, i really wanted to stay away from anthracite and black as it been done to death on grey really does noting for me visually bores me to tears . matte bronze would be the only other colour id go for

Looking good mate mine turned up this morning in flat bronze but probably gunna re-paint int flat black
I doubt they will fit with my rear arches as they are so will have to wait for the new 1's to be fitted
