My new wheels arrived yesterday so thought i\'d stick up a few pics! The spoiler has now also been jetisoned into a hedge!
What do you think?

Cheers for the comments guys. The wheels are ultralite atec II.   18x8.5 up front and 18x9.5 rear with  offset 35 all round!
I\'m well happy with them.
 I actually ordered them with gunmetal spokes & polished lip, however they never arrived with the delivery so i changed them to the polished spoke versions. Glad i did now!:Laugh
The car has today been delivered to the body shop for fitting of a FEED typeII front bumper and veilside D1GT sideskirts along with all the holes from the spoiler being welded, filled & painted.
So when i get back from Lanzarote in 2 weeks the makeover should be complete!! :Laugh

Even though they are not the lowest offset in the world, they still look pretty low due to the design....would love to see a white fd3 with the gold versions!

Very nice...and bare arsed is the way to go :D  so do the offset of 35 run ok? I was uinder the impression you needed 40 to 45?!
