Front - 7J x 16 x ET20 Rear - 7.5J x 17 x ET35 Front offset is 6mm different from standard to widen the track a little (helps reduce understeer) and give extra clearance to those wanting to fit the AP brake caliper upgrade. Rear offset is identical to stock.

Fetched the wheels a month ago, cleaned the car for photos and it hasn't stopped raining since :wacko:

Managed to escape this morning with camera, so here's a couple of shots - silver on silver.

I put the next on in to explain why we didn't take the hood off :o

Tyres still look very shiny, so I'm being ultra cautious still. Even so, first impressions are good. The steering no longer has a mind of its own and the car feels much more willing to turn in.

Can't wait to get on the track to see what difference it makes at speed. Oh! and I'll need to figure out best pressures and nitron settings for road / track. I guess that's a topic for another thread, though.

Love the new Wheels, gives the car a completely different look. Just have to keep them out of the gravel trap to maintain that lovely polished finish!! :P
