For a second i thought it was mine :O

You might want to loose the mudflaps otherwise you will more than likely reverse over them on the slightest incline

The cars a toy not a daily drive Practicality is not an issue and I can't drive fast around Cambridge so I'm sure the car will survive (queue a post in three weeks time with my car battered after hitting a £1 coin somebody left in the road)

Bockett, I think they are called hyper black or something to that effect, they prolly only look dark as the weather was less than ideal lol I will be cutting the mud flaps down on the front I think, I like having them on the car so a trim should surfice

I assumed they were Hyper Black I wasn't sure if the colour scheme varied on wheels sourced in the UK

Look good but at 9.5" they're stretching those tyres too much and I'm taking bets on how long it will be before you kerb them!
I'd like them but at a more sensible 18x8 and ET48-50

I won't kerb em, I'm fully aware of how wide my car is and I'm not going to let the wife drive it so they should be just fine

The problem with the 18x8 ET40 is they don't fill the arches enough and the dish is ALOT shallower, some people like it but it wasn't the look I was after.... If it ws it would have been so much easier as I had to wait months for these to come in to the country !

Great wheels, nice to see some larger pictures of them! Look forward to seeing it once you have had the arches done.
