I've been confusing myself and considering different rims for a while now, and think I've finally decided (seeing them on Scott T's car helped decide !).

I want 18" BK Racing BK238 (sexy name huh !) in gold with Toyo T1s - have been quoted around the £1200 mark - anyone know of other reliable suppliers that I can try and get a keener quote from ?

Thanks

Backing onto the above, am I right in thinking I need 7.5 x 18 (or 8 x 18 ?) and profile on tyre of 215/35 ???

Thanks

Stick to 7.5 X 18 wheels

Sorry can't help with tyres

Thanks Iain...it's such a nightmare, I've now decided that 17" may be safer - the more people i speak to, the more I'm put of the larger rim size, and it seems more choice in 17".

In which case, I'm safe with 215/40 ? ... even though my current 17" are 205/45 !!!!! (prodives !).

At least I've decided on my BB now....just the wheels and god knows what else left !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think both the tyre sizes you mention are fine and go about the problem of rubbing a different way. One not so tall and one not so wide.

As far as the wheels go, which I agree loked gorgeous try these people.

If you want 18's then I'm sure they will fit with the right tyre choice. It may be a hard ride though. I'm pretty sure Trouser @ TSL had 18's or even 19's on the Express.

Nathan, just checked them out - pretty good site, but their tyre size on the BK238 is 205/40...which is a third different size tyre for a 17" wheel ! I will ask them if they can do 215/40
