Good to meet you Vanish, pics look good cheers for posting them !
Not sure whether to lower it now, the ride feels well with the new rubber, and I think it looks ok ??
Tud, the wheels are MAK racing spirit in Gold, as seen last on here on CeeDee's wagon
Simb you know the score

Top motor Andy the 35's will be a bit unforgiving looks good as it is m8.
Stick on a set of progressive Eibachs and you will have a good combo then without sacrificing too much more comfort.

Andy, how much did you pay for them (if that's not too rude)? Been let down on wheels now three times and quite like the look of those

Mail me if you don't want to say on the board.

Cheers,
Richard.

Hi Andy.
The Spirits do look good, here are my 18s in silver, think they set the black off better.
Good choice!

Question

Does anyone who is running these wheels also run Subaru 4 pots? Thinking of ordering these today but need to make sure they fit over the brakes

Angry

This was a grim reminder last winter after a blow out @ about 80mph on the M20 London bound! Tyre just exploded forcing me to the hard shoulder.. Lucky it was very early on a Sunday morning..
Had to take rear off and swap as space saver doesnt go over 4 pots





Please excuse quality!
Regards
Andy..

Ricco go here for the wheels, ask for Martin, say I sent you

Andy, I think you got a blow up due to the dirt on the wheel

Edited to say you could get A LOT of brakes behind these boys, there must be an inch clearance on the caliper...... AP's MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
