Just looking for some other peoples opinions, on a silver car what dya reckon will go best

   or the classic silver


Dunno whether to stay safe with silver or go for the matt...
It also has the red lettering which would go well with a set of red calipers:)

Black or Anthracite, whatever colour it actually is

The black i think too, for a silver car.

I would take the silver ones myself but my cars red and i dont like black wheels on red cars....

Go for the matt/gunmetal silver one, it looks soooo much better in the pictures!

duff

can ya get super leggras to fit on a FD i heard a rumour some where that they dont make the right offset or summat along those lines its probaby just bullshit though.

i want some 19"s for mine in the anthracite colour you wanna check out the 3 peice ones as well they are nice wheels nice price too ;)

:burnout :burnout

cheers for the pics mate, nice one. Although duff, i think you may be right, i thought they\'d be alright as i saw an fd with them on, but i just phoned one place and he said he thinks they have a low offset :( will spacers get round that or is it not a good way to go

I tried several dealers over here for OZ and all were willing to tell and sell me wrong offsets, I even had one of the Italian factories I buy from to speak direct with OZ in italy and were just as bloody unhelpful. Gave up on them in the end.

Sorry for another \'will it fit\' question, but will a 18x9 fit on the front ok?
From what I found it *looks* like you can get the 18x9 in the right offset but not the 18x8.


If they do fit is there any disadvantages to running same size all round? Suppose smaller tyres could go on front also, say 245//255 front, 265 (275?)back

I have 255/17s on the front at the moment and the ride is not that nice.

ScuttleRX

ball cocks, can only get the forged ones which are slightly diff style which i aint keen on and double the price, not too keen on that either really :D

Cool site tho, cheers, will have another hunt for a diff set

ScuttleRX

Managed to get a set in the end, as some of you at rotorstock may have seen, had to go for race silver in the end as the matt one didn\'t come in correct offset. The ones i got are 18x8 and 18x9 both with 35 offset
now there on i think i prefer the colour they are, especially as i decided to poilsh up the calipers rather than paint them, heres a piccy:)
