Very nice. Can I ask what make they are and where you got them from? Also, are they four stud?

Two observations if you don't mind,and nice wheels.
I'm sure your aware and just wondered why you did'nt go for 35 profiles to the rear to keep the same rr.
With the right offset 265 will fit under the arch'es,infact 285 if you are willing to loose some inner track.

What did you do about the temp wheel? Obviously the old one is no good any more. Did you get an 18" one or just trust to tyre weld.

Dave

Those wheels look great. Front suspension's off mine now so the rear should be out of the way by mid week (got to keep up with the decorating as well!)

Roll bar will be next up so give me a call in a couple of weeks and you should be able to come over and have a look, I'll even offer you a cuppa next time !

Colin.
