Default New Rims

After contemplating the concave look for awhile now i decided against it, with the b-roads not being very friendly to the spin i made a decision to go for more of a rally inspired look and was lucky enough that a set of Revolutions appeared for sale last week i got in contact with the seller immediately and made him an offer to which he accepted, picked them up on Sunday and fitted them as soon as i got home, then filled in the lettering on the tyres this evening very happy with them, opinions welcome

They are 18x8 not 100% sure on the offset but i think it's 45, i'll check next chance i get

Thanks for the comments

@Guv they do look super good on classic's i agree i did however catch a reflection in a garage forecourt window as i drove passed and i have to say i was very glad i bought them well worth the 6hr round trip imo.

I am considering getting these for my Spec C as well, but i believe they are quite heavy aren't they. I think they are 11-12kg? How does it drive with these wheels? Does it blunt performance in anyway?

When i fitted them, i didn't notice much of a difference in weight to the 17's that were coming off tbh,
the ride feels smooth and still makes me smile on the b-roads

@Phil555 have you some pix of the anthracite's on your TypeR i can view?

First & second pic are how the car is now as I have fitted the OE decals. Third is an old pic but they give you an idea.

I was going to paint them black straight away as my last set of wheels (P1 WRC) wheels were black but decided the anthracite was OK. If i kerb one i'll do them black.

Fitted the AST'S at the weekend and have to say i'm very pleased with them, much more comfort than the oem setup, £225 well spent I think.

Sitting a little lower now.
