I'd quite like a set in white. I realise that's not an option.

I'm interested in a set in gun metal, would colour be similar to the standard m400 wheels?

They're so cheap you could have a set powder coated any colour you like and still have change from a set of Speedlines!

Folks, if you could all send me a message with your name, address, contact number and colour choice (gunmetal or gloss black) I can pass this info to Rarerims. The invoice will then be issued to you for the 20% deposit. Once they have received 10 deposits the order will be placed and I can then update you on progress.
Many thanks to you all.

Why is it the colour of them that's dictating the discount? I would have thought the biggest problem would be cutting blanks to 4x108?

It's not so much the colour that's dictating the discount, it's just that to tool up for a new spec they want to run one single batch and ideally that would all be in one colour. Fortunately they've agreed to do two colours to open up the possibilities but painting 10+ sets in potentially 10+ colours would be too much to allow for a big discount.

If you wanted a set in white and could find 4 others that did too.....

Sorry my car is actually up for sale at the moment so it's unlikely I'll want any. It was just an idea in case I kept it but it would go with a respray which having talked to Jetstream is more than I want to spend on the car.

There is no difference, all specs as per standard except the 1/2" wider front wheel.

Am I correct in Fronts - 8.5 x 18 ET 23
Rears - 10 x 18 ET 28
Not sure if the M400 is any different

So if its a batch run cant they alter the front to say 15 ET to avoid using spacers & the tyre rubbing issue

Tom you don't need to run spacers but the wider wheel will cause the tyre to rub on the inner arch cover. Changing the offset will help with clearance but will obviously mean the outer edge is closer to the clam when the suspension compresses over bumps. I wouldn't want to run the risk of damaging the clam.
