Cheers,
Wheels are 18 x 8.5 with 235/40 toyo tr1's. Wanted to go slightly wider but glad I didn't (theres only a few mm clearence on the back arch lip when fully bottomed out). I like the more 'dished' look of the 18 x 9's tho. Wanted advan RS's but cost to much

Can't remember what offset they were but will check this weekend, I know they weren't standard (got the wheels from Revolution in Newcastle). Still to do on the styling front (when I can afford):
1. New plate for the front (one that doesn't cover the intercooler as much)
2. RCM Carbon Wing mirrors (does anyone know where you can get these any cheaper, £500 is a lot of money
!)
3. Paint intercooler black (beef your right)

Car looks great even with the 18x8.5's. As you said I do prefer the 18x9's but I doubt they would be suitable for UK roads.
How much you lowered and what are running suspension wise?

Running about 25mm lower than when I had prodrive springs on. Have had it lower in the past which looked awesome but couldn't get the car back in the garage, lol (bottomed out on splitter/mud flaps).
Have the Powerstation Stage 3 Package (see below, copied from website):
Stage 3 - T25 Spec Kit
AST Sport-Line Suspension Kit
Rear Adjustable Roll Bar
Anti-Lift Kit
Front Adjustable Roll Bar
4-Wheel Alignment
Quality bit of kit and more than happy with it, car seems to stock to the road o.k. anyway.

Only making 410bhp/340ft lbs at mo, cars running on the safe side. Currently looking at a couple of 2.5 shortblocks from the usual suspects and hope to bump that up to 450/470.

You do have a point Dave, black looks good!. The whole car has a fantastic stance.
How much lower from standard do the Prodrive springs go?, do you have them still, possibley for sale?

In think the Prodrive springs were 15/20mm lower than the standard sti springs (but don't quote me on that), sold the prodrive springs when I got the AST's I'm afraid.

Sorry for the delay mate, just checked tonight wheels are ET48. Have you tried Revolution in Newcastle. What colour car you got, they look very nice in gunmetal on blue as well. Pictures don't do them justise, look much better in the flesh (but I would say that 
)

Harry, think you should try 245/40's, lol. I wasn't brave enough to! Am very interested to know if they catch.
