QuoteWhat are the new wheels you are getting?

That\'d be telling ;)

QuoteIll happily take ur old aerofoil section off ur hands dude!

I\'ve got a huge pile of stuff, some of which I need to shift. Some of it though I\'m tempted to keep.

You see, I\'ve got this voice in the back of my mind egging me on to have a crack at racing. So, I\'m half thinking of building another to race :2eek because if I do I\'ve already got some good parts to use.

I\'ve got exactly the same kit on but have 17" black Rega\'s on, also want to fill out my arches... what size are you going for??
 
That kit is far too wide for anything under 18\'s, even if they are as rare as Rega\'s, which i\'ll be selling shortly.

I love your car...pure car porn:mmmm  did you go for the standard mazda silver as it looks stunning.

more pics please?  if you have 17" wheels then rear can do with 30-35mm spacers and front with 15mm but it also depends what offset wheels you have.

again very very nice fd there.:god

The Volks that are on there at the moment are 18s :eek

The rears are 18x10 ET37 and the fronts are 18x9 ET46 (if I remember correctly). I think the key thing here is getting the right offset and not so much the diameter.

Also, I think the reason these look small is because the tyres are a bit rubber band like. They\'re 265/35 on the rear and 235/40 on the front, Toyo T1-Rs, which is sh1t tyre in my opinion and they are more like 255s on the rear and 225 on the front.

New wheels will be 18x10.5 ET25 and 18x9.5 ET29. I\'m going to put Yoko A048Rs on them. :Thumbs-up

Theres 17\'s on mine with this kit (bar the Bomex front bumper).
 
Can I ask what you are doing with your wheels because im looking at some pretty much the same as those you have on... ACE 184\'s but would rather have ones with the wider tyre. Will they be for sale at all?

Mattie

The wheels will probably be up for sale when my new ones turn up. The only reason I wouldn\'t sell them is if the new ones don\'t look as good as I hope, in which case I\'d get some spacers for these or if I decide to build an FD to race.
