4x460 + import tax and duty 20% =£2200 then ad08s 245-40-18s £165 each .

A nice £2900 fitted make sure you put some nice aps under them at £3800 front and rear.

This is how the b053 rolls.

Grid v look decen on new ages IMO, xxr don't suit the new age without wider arches the only car that I've seen pull them off are Audi rs4s.

Einkei racing range I think they are cool and different! Not forgetting super light.

don't wanna spend huge amounts as could get sc46 instead but don't want summat to cheap

I've seen some 17x9 in bronze and they look awesome just unsure of any rubbing issues if running 245/40/17

17's are too small if you are just worried about aesthetics, in my opinion.

What about Compomptive MO's? are some other rally inspired wheel? Not too expensive, not too common and most of them look good.

However, if you (or anybody else reading this) are interested, I will be importing some wheels from the states next year so we might be able to get a discount on delivery if we get multiple sets sent over
