So do I, absolutely lovely.
Just been on their website to price a set up.........
Yeah I wanted some Image rims but at about £2000+ I couldn't really justify it. I had some on my MK1 escort though and the quality was brilliantJust been on their website to price a set up.........
On my other set I ordered 8x16 fronts, ceramic clear coat on the rings and front mounted centers, so they look a bit bigger. In Italy summer 2014, a carwash guy just sprayed the rims with acid and destroyed the coating in 2 minutes... Gratzie mille!

I ran 255/40/17s on the rear.
They are 10" wide and will take 275mm wide.
I am running 18x9" on the rears and run 265/40/18s.
You have to trim the rears, it would be sacrilege not to with those wheels.
It took me no more than 3 hours to trim and fibreglass, easy peasy honestly.

Its slightly off topic but i`m after a wheel nut socket with a nylon outer casing which moves freely . I have a set which are sleeved but they do not spin .
If the wheels are removed on a regular basis it does not take long before they are scuffed .
I bought the correct one of those for a few quid. Looks just like the ones you illustrate. Cannot remember if it was Halfords or Allwoods 19mm IIRC. Sleeve rotatesIf the wheels are removed on a regular basis it does not take long before they are scuffed .

Which makes me think i probably got mine from Allwoods
Have you tried some WD40 on yours? I am surprised they don't revolve
