Certainly a nice looking rim these. Whenever I see them I can't help thinking they'd look better without the chrome centre caps. They need a flush fitting centre in wheel colour rather than the raised chrome ones IMO

Looks cool definetly needs dropping, I'm going to change my tein springs for coilovers as its still not perfect on the stechs, that's the only thing with wheels like this the ride height needs to be spot on for it look right

What size wheels and tyres have you got mate? I'm getting rubbing on the rears but didt want to do any arch work. I have 18x8.75 with 225/40/18 tyres

Mine are this size with no rubbing but mines a widetrack that might be why.. I'm not sure.
Arch rolling isn't expensive mate.

Across normal driving I have no problems mate the cars on bc coilovers too. When driving around corners hard I get the occasional rub on the rear.

No i didn't get my wheels from Revolution, dont mind him using the pictures though, i guess its a compliment! I'll have a look what size tyres i have on tomorrow. The only problem i have with them at that height is my coilovers are set hard, it can be a bit harsh around the Derbyshire roads. Although i can't drive it at the moment, came off my bike a few months ago and only just starting to walk again, i'm hoping i can drive a clutch again but i might have to go auto, not a happy chap.
