managed to bargain with my dealer when i bought the car new... he threw the lip in as a sweetner to the deal.. so no i didnt fit it myself..

ive heard they can be quite expensive to obtain though! especially if your not in japan!

What tyres are on the old wheels?
Also did you get the springs and wheels at the same time.
I have had prodrive springs fitted to mine, and the handling is rather improved.
I am wondering what extra benefit the wheels provide.

cant remember what tyres are on them.. they're in the garage, will check over the weekend.. i just remember they look like cut slicks!!

no i got the springs fitted about 2 weeks before the wheels... not noticed much benfit handling wise with the wheels really, but then again, ive not been pushing it...i just think the car looks so much better on 18"s.. the wheels now fit the wheel arches.

and if original the 17s should have 225/45/17 bridgestone REO70s on them, look like cut slicks on outside edge, everyone rates them as awesome tyres, if i had spare wedge id buy the wheels off you just to get a set as track day tyres!

but yes they wont fit anything before an 05 plater i dont think because the PCD is different, which somewhat limits your market for sale, but reckon you could sell the tyres seperatly for £300/£350 if they are in good nick
