Default New Alloys and Eibachs fitted

Finally got around to fitting the Springs and poping the 18" alloys on. I know Alloys are subjective and everyone has their own taste but i love them. They were powder coated in what the shop calls Black Chrome , basically gloss black with a flash of silver then laquered. The effect is great and dependant on the light and direction the colour changes.

Yep, go to 40 profiles, will fill arch better and make ride quality MUCH better! I went 35 to 40 on 18s, sooooo much better! Look nice, like the Alloys!

235/40s work a treat on 18s...



But that's a 50mm drop compared to the 30(-ish)mm your eibachs will give you.

Looking good though Paul

I've got 35's on my 18's and I think it makes the whole look more sporty but as we always say on here " each to their own and so long as you like it ....."
Nice paint job 😉
