I cant find any difference yet! The tyre side walls are slightly taller than the 18" ones.

Once the tyres have covered a few hundred miles then I'll push it and see if it handles any better.

If you can`t beat "em" join em
We still have a bit of time for the run, if you want to wait for the Cerb to come back?
Oh btw Tuesday 28th is a bank holiday, do you reckon that`s the date for the x-mas run?

Craig...nice wheels mate! I do like something a little different to the 'standard' spiders, and in my opinion they are not 'too bling'.

Bloody hell, even a polished lip on them... They look mean... I think once you the speed 12 light conversion on - then it will drop spot on!

Look very nice!

I was looking at some very similar ones for mine but in 18", still not sure weather to go for spiders or aftermarkets!
Looking at those pics, I might be steered more towards the aftermarkets now!

Yeah I used photoshop to try a few different types and decided on these in the end.

No I cut the inner arches off then fibre glassed and treated what was left. When the front end is getting done Im going to try and have the rear arches blended and flared a bit to match the front.

The fronts are 235/35 and the rears are 285/30.
