Ps what profile did you go for 225/40/18
I would have thought a 235/35/18 or even a 255/35/18 would look much better not sure if it will give better performance/grip on the track/road..

Hi Fella ...

Decided on the 225/40 /18's , Hopefully they will be with Zac @ Mocom racing mid week

Collected new " WRC Spec " Wheels yesterday , They have now gone of to an engineering shop to have the centre's machined out !!

The works car's run a 54mm Dia Centre our cars run 57/58mm Dia so they need to be made a little bigger & then tyres added & then on the car , Well that's after all the wheel nut studs ( Yes all 20 of them ) Have been changed for longer ones !!

All this for a set of wheels , But im sure it's going to be worth it
