rota d1 wheels

i didnt say you were running spacers, but the difference in offset between stock and your wheels is about 20mm, thats what i meant

Quote from: turbotoaster;673130how come everyone only runs 8" on the front, i would have thought instead of going 20mm out by different offset you would use that space and run 9"

most people still have inner arches toast and still want to keep them so 8" are arch friendly :Laugh

Quote from: batman;673131ooohhhh tough one i love your car ed stealthy as **** id keep the rotas not every ones taste but they look mint on yours gold wheels are a bit to picky and bling for such a race look imo :Thumbs-up

Ed - pics or it didnt happen

Alex - rota D1s will look absolutely rubbish on your car. in fact im struggling to think of a car which rota d1s look good on (well good enough to justify their price tag). also youve got wide arches...run a proper width and offset...9j et30 dont cut it. You want something like 10.5j et20 on the back and 10j et25 up front (or 9j et18ish).

*runs and hides from anyone running d1s*
