Goes well with the white and, its a small point, picks up on the side markers too. Very nice choice.

Have to say I'm not a fan of the bugeye at all, but this car looks fantastic, the colour, the wheels and the styling go together so well.

I was looking at those and since you have them on a white car its easier for me to see how they look
Since you had to roll the arches for 8.75 rims what tyre size did you use and do you think the 9.75 wide would stick out a lot more as I was looking at that size

I've got my original 225/40/18's on mate. To be honest, i'd have thought if you go for the 9.75's, you'd have to but some arch extensions because they'd stick out to much.
If you want more advise, you'd be better off speaking to Gav at The Speedfactory in Preston about them as thats where i got these from.

Arch extension don't bother me as I was planning on fitting them. Any chance of some close up shots of how the tyres fit as in do they look stretched? and a shot proper sideways showing clearance
Opps forgot what colour are they? they look like black chrome?

Looks good, I was hoping to get some Rota grids but I'm pretty sure that is going to fall thru so these will be my second option
