I really wasn't sure on them from the first picture, but I think they look good! What are you doing with the other new wheels you got?

I like that. Usually I prefer silver but the black wheels make it look quite aggressive.

Are the offsets ok?
What tyres (make / size) did you fit?
And the damage? I assume just over £1k incl tyres?

the silver pic though is with 'comedy' width. In 10inch the silver would look good I think.

Like the general style, I don't know Rota. I personally would get Compomotive MO6's over them, similar style, but then again I've been saying that for the last two years and haven't got them yet hehe, Longbow has them in silver and they are rather nice.

editted to add, here's a Tuscan with 18x10's, which I think Jonnyw had on his race cerb for a while too

Seems like the group approve, like i give a... smile

They are from Driftworks, Rota GTR D is the model, 265/55-18 and 225/35-18 front but i am going 245/35-18 next week, my fronts are borrowed!

Wheels are front 18x8.5 et 35, rear 18x10 et 35 but the backs are rubbing the arches so a little "relieving" will be needed.

Price, speak to them as i have done a "deal".

Modded the inner arches so they are not rubbing, i ground the inner lip to the outer shell, or close to it, then slit the inner tub (which was quite thin) in a fan like fashion, then pulled it closer to the body using G clamps.
I then reglassed it, i am still finding fibre glass dust in places i didnt know i had!!
Success though, but what a sh!t job.
Wheels do look seriously aggresive though, many people have commented on how good they look.

I like the idea of not having to clean them. They don't look too dissimilar to the Fikse FM5 but less bling in black. Got any shots in daylight? Also, what about the Spa trip this year Brum?
