Thanks Joolz, good to hear that this beastie is still a stunner

The wheels are a from an italian company called MAK, but unfortunately they don't do build them in this seize (5stud, 114,3) anymore.

Happy new year to all of you...

Christof, is the car still in this country?

[carl_w]

Hi christof!

Did the wheels come in that colour, or did you have them painted? I reckon I could get some BBSs looking like that if I was prepared to have them resprayed/powder coated.

Cheers mate

Hate to say it, but I'm not too keen... it just looks a little "flat", probably because of the (lack of) ground clearance.

Hi Carl,

had them painted. Good luck with finding the right wheels as it's a hard work to get the right seize.

You say above that they're 5 stud, 114.3 (I assume that's the PCD)?

Do you know what offset is required?

PS: a quick search for "PCD 114.3" reveals that Ralliart do these:

but they're 69,000 Yen each in 18" versions, which I think might be a lot

Offset has to be around 35 mm on a 8,5x18 wheel.

Exchange rate is approx. 190 Yen to the pound... those wheels'll be coming out at about £360 each. Ignoring issues with shipping, VAT, etc.

[carl_w]

That's what I figured. Plus VAT, import duty (10%?) and shipping that's going to be around £500 a wheel (without tyres)!
