Finally got my wheels today
Today has been somewhat of a bittersweet day for me.
It started with me being extremley happy with my new wheels being delivered. So I started to fit them all was going ok but then realised I made a schoolboy error by not noticing the rotation on the tyres and having to change them over, Dylan popped over and advised me of the right way to put them on as I was getting extremely stressed due to a lot of noise coming from the sky above and realising that I was short on time before the rain started also that I had to pick my mrs up at 5.30 from work and it was getting close.
Of course the inevitable happened and it pissed down on me as I was on my last two wheels so by now I was soaking majorly stressed and completley anticipating the ticking off I was about to recieve from the mrs.
Anyway it was worth it as the car is now legal again and looking a bit better heres some dodgy pics
Opinions welcome!

Dylan mate was great to see you buddy!

Like the wheels, as dark wheels are the new white wheels on this forum. 
Did you apply any wheel sealant before fitment such as poorboys or similar?
And don't believe Dylan as he does not know what a 'calm' drive is (but he can drive well).

Eibach lowering springs - should drop the car about 30mm.
Ideally they could do with a rub down and a fresh coat of paint as they have just sat out the back garden for the last few months
£25 and their yours......
