ultralite atec 789's in bronze 18 inch, just thought they really suited the car, plus they fitted over 10 pot calipers and was fed up of seeing classics with pff 7's and any other rip off make that all look the same.

The wheels will, not sure whether you'll have clearance issues with the tyres, but they're the budget tyres that came with the car so you may wish to upgrade anyway. I'll get some pics on Friday and PM them to you. Not looking for too much as they are not perfect but they are straight, not buckled or anything. You can decide once I've got you some pics

That is so true.!!

Your wheels do look very nice, I had these on the next to buy list when i had the skyline.. What size did you buy them in. (offset)

here are mine. I think these were an option in japan. Lightweight BBS 17" rims. Will be getting them painted within 2 weeks glossy black.

Cheers mate, I opted for the 8x18 on a 48mm offset, but then went for 235 width tyres rather than the standard 225. Didn't make that much difference on the speedo, but filled the arches better and will have a little more play in the side wall so hopefully a little more predictable if I ever get time to go to a track day.

17" Work Emotion - Gunmetal. Because I liked them much more than the goldies. Wish I'd got 18's though

Had 18's Rota GRA in silver on the car, didnt like the ride, so dropped down to 17's, same make but steel grey colour.

Great price from rare rims and look pretty good. (especially when making progress down the road )
