I did like the first set but I have another Chimaera for sale that came with brand new RSSs with new Toyos so I had a free change.

The new wheels have the new Titanium finish which is quite a bit brighter than the RSRs and it brings out the blue in the paint, a definate improvement.

Here is the other Chim with the RSRs on.

I think I wouldnt have spent money for wheels that looked virtually the same as the originals.

IMHO both sets look equally good.

Monaco posted a long time back that he used ET35 offsets on his compomotive 18s. I've no idea which offset is right, but I would like to clarify. Where did you get the offset info from please Corin? Also, what wheel width do you use and do you have any clearance problems with it on full lock?

Thanks,

Steve.

Very true steve

ET35 all round on my 18x8's, this was confirmed by the chaps at the compomotive factory, as they also supply the wheels for the racing chims in Malaysia. so I went with that.

All seems to work fine for me on that size rim, but I must say I'm not often on full lock.
