They do look better, But im not sure on the style.
Of course it is all personnel choice, if you did not like them you would not fit them..

Be careful on those Kerbs as you will be severly p!ssed off when you scuff them ..

Cracking wheels, just not sure on the two blue stickers on different spokes - if was me i'd be taking those off - but as long as your happy thats all that matters!!

Could do with a wee run round with tyre shine on the sidewalls

Nice wheels mate . Deffo agree with lowering it. Just one thing-is it just me or do those wheels look small . I know there 18's.....but I don't know they just look smaller .

Cheers Paul.

Tony im great thanks mate aint seen you for ages what you smoking these days?

Was just about to get the tyre shine out and it started hammering down
i duno what to do with decals yet will keep them on for a bit and then decide i think.

The bloody big arches just swallow up 18`s he he
Pippy is that your STI it makes a huge difference when lowered and i love the splitter to where`s it from if you dont mind me asking.

I had the rims from Richard at Midland wheels and they came to about £690 in total. Dan

forgot to mention that if you get it lowered be prepared to catch the front in places. I've got a scott lowe front lip which doesn't help matters but have caught it a few times - even without the lip on it

btw you may want to hide your number plate on your pics - can never be too careful these days

Danny - as for the bins my neighbour has taken to leaving his opposite my house!
