Hi

Have a look at this thread, a couple of people have posted pics up.

Unfortunately the couple of sets we had to clear have gone but we are getting more in.
PM or email me if you have any queries.

Thanks

I've just fitted a set of bronze ones to my blue blob sti, just lowered it as much as i can on bc coilovers and still get over speed bumps. I rolled my rear arches only, left the fronts alone, not pulled the arch at all and they fit fine with no rubbing, not drove in anger yet but seems fine around town over all speed bumps.

I'll try get some done today and put them on, never done it before so fingers crossed! Not sure if i'm going to keep the wheels or not, liked my car how it was but been wanting to try some wheels that fit the arches for ages, cant decide which i prefer.
