The new wheels are lush , if I was up for a new set these would be the ones for me
It will look even better will the eibachs on. My bugeye suffered the same look but fitting the springs made all the difference.

I'll be honest too, not sure I like them.. but hey, at least its something different from the OZ P1 look-a-likes which a lot of people have gone for recently.

I'd be tempted to fit H&R or Tein Springs.... to lower it a little more than Eibach's would, I think you need it on 17's to be honest.


Cheers,
Grant

Rota Formula's - I think Gunmetal's the colour for Blue scoob's.

Maybe mudflaps as well as lowering would help the look..........

Im guessing the height is down to the fact it wasnt driven straight after it was jacked up.....maybe, they look a little of offset, sit in quite abit!!!
