Yes it does need 18s I agree on that !!
These gold wheels are a much brighter gold than the new age one's... I struggle a little with some of the golds wheels about as they look to dark and yellow for my personal taste but these I like very much and I could be swayed into getting a set... phew did not think I would ever hear myself saying that !! lol
If you lived closer I would have your's on here next Si
I like em a lot !!Thanks

Yours is one of the reasons I dropped mine down because of the look you have achieved there.... I read you rolled your rear arches ? are you running 18" x 8 by chance ? only these are by 7 and they sit great on the back and I dont think I would get any rubbing at all here.

Thanks for your help aswell in getting the tints off mine, not such a tough job after all

Arh I'm torn between the Two, I wouldn't of thought that Kev's silver ones would siut a DBM car but they do look really good. But then again Si's Oz's look the dogs.
To be honest I'd wished I stumped up the extra and bought the Oz's when I bought my T12's. Live and Learn
STI lights look the business, where did you find them?

The ride is very good I am very pleased with them

Cheers Si... hey they are growing on me big time
Daz cheers matey, Si said my wheels would not fit on his so I could not try all 4 on and drive off never to return !! lol
Danny hello matey !! god everyone is awake this morning... Kev's really do suit it aswell don't they, I think it was a suprise to the pair of us when we dropped them on.
I picked the rear lights up off the Sport forum one of the boys was selling up and had a few things that I have found use for lol
You can pick them up off here for £210
http://www.flat4online.co.uk/catalog/
I managed to aquire them for slightly less so was very happy with the result, I am suprised how much they change to look of the back end, much better without the yellow bits but it does not come cheap.

Cheers Guys
It looks like the vote is split right down the middle on this... Silver "v" Gold
It's just as well I am no rush to replace them as I can't decide on one more than the other myself... that shade of gold looks fantastic but the silver adds a clean freshness to the car if you know what I mean
Criss maybe Anthricite is worth a look at your car looks mint with your new one's on for sure....even if they are gold !!
Jim your right about the multi spokes they really fill those arches up and sets the car off well.
Thanks
Simon

From those two choices mate, I'd go gold... The car is looking absolutely stunning!! 
I have always been a fan of Anthracite though, might be worth looking at that, so bring a friend with anthracite alloys over to yours and then swipe a couple of wheels to try on........
Or get a potatochop expert to change the Prodrive 10-Spokes to Anthracite.
Cheers,
Grant

That's a good idea Grant.... any photoshop experts reading through this want to change them for me ?? !!
Looks like you have been on nightshift !!
The car sits well on those H&R's thanks for that advice a little while back, have you still got your wagon as I did see it in the for sale section a while back ?
Cheers
