Johnny, that was my car! LOL Any chance you can send me the pics as I dont have them Cheers. The first one they had done. 
Mine are Silver but they do a high power silver colour which is like a dark chrome look.

Only one, which I had on my P1. Tyres are so thing, that if you go round a corner fast and it's a little uneven (the rims can well catch on the road surface and you've got yourself a nice little "parking scuff" like mark on em if it's a bad one).
Suspension upgrade, may well be your next buy with these! Oh and the feel through the steering wheel is a little more frantic, with you feeling those bumps just a tad more.

I've got 7.5 x 18 on my classic and it's lowered on Eibachs, but there looks enough room to fit 19s under the arches without a problem.
The only thing is when I've parked on full lock before there's a really tiny amount of space between the tyre and the arches, so maybe with 19's they might foul against the car?? But I don't know.
Give Paul at TSL a call - he should know...

i've already been told by scoty that they'll fit fine as he has them fitted on his. gonna lower the car with h&r's too at the same time. the only rubbing he got was going round corners hard too! but we've managed to find the source of the problem and fix it. i was just wondering if anyone had an bad experiences. i genuinely thought there would be a problem with the larger radius going on and doing damage to the diff's.
cheers lads

AFAIK the only diff problems that can be caused by the radius of the wheels is if they're nt all the same... making the space saver wheel a pointless thing to carry cos I wouldn't use it...! Take it and the jack out to save weight

Was about to order the GTRS wheels from TSL.
Dont think they come in 7x18 though.
I had planned on just going for the 7x17's...
I really wanted 19's, but not practical for me.

18s are GOOD!! Have fun and post pix in the members gallery when you've got them on.
19s would be awesome but same as you - not really practical for me and though the 7.5 x 18s don't rub, on full lock wih a loaded car the gap is pretty small - not sure if a 19 would not rub in that situation without cutting...
Happy with my 18s for now - and so will you BE

Hope so !
The cars looking pretty average at the moment.
Still on standard springs/wheels.
But picked up my H&R's lastnight..and wheels should arrive by the weekend..so it'll be transformed !
Will get piccys done as soon as it's done.

Am getting the GTRS wheels from TSL, seem a good price, and i'm desperate for wheels as mine are knackered.
They should be 7.5x18's.
As i've said, would love to go to 19's, but drive a lot of back roads, and they wouldn't be practical.
