Spotted a blue one in cardiff today, you flashed and i gave a wave. Had a bit of a convoy with a silver coupe on the m4 from Cardiff to Bath also, and finally another blue on on the opposite side of the M4 near newport this evening .

Cheers mate, exactly what I was after! Wa wa wee wa!

I had some of the narrow chrome wheels nuts that came with my rotas but i'd really like to get some black ones. Does anyone know were i can get some thats arent stupidly expensive. Nath.

Grrr, apparently they havent got time to deliver them today s its going to be tomorrow... cant say im best pleased!

Well the wheels have arrived and me likey, me likey a lot! just waiting for the tyres to get delivered now and hopefully find somewhere to fit them.

Wheels and tyres should be arriving tomorrow, it will take a few trips to get the lot to the tyre fitters, but once its all done i'll take some pics

I had the same trouble when looking for my Torque drifts, quite a few different sites had different images. i'm 99% sure they are gunmetal though mate! What site is the pic from?

I have been quoted £80 to get the front arches done

I am bothered about tyre usage, so i plan on using a "normal" camber. I'll just get the arches rolled/ pulled if the protrude at the front!

I hope they don't stick out! Iris a square look as far as re wheels go but the tyres are different sizes so it will look staggered

Just placed my orders for the wheels in 18x9.5 et12 all around, plus 245/40/18, 275/40/18 falken 452's should be here next week Really hope I get the look I'm after.

Brilliant, exactly what i was after.

Ok thanks mate, how close to the edge of the front and rear arch do you think a offset of 12 would be? i really dont want thtme to stick out beyond the arches.

I dont suppose you have any pictures of how your wheels sit in your arches?

What are the ones you are running at the moment?

Both front and rear?

Have to say, that centre console looks stunning! Would love to get mine done like that plus the arm rest on the door.

First and third photo's IMO.

I much prefer the front wheels

Hi guys following on from my threads on finding a supplyer and tyres sizes for these wheels it has now come down to the offset. I have gonew for 245/40/18 on the front and 275/40/18 on the rear each on a 9.5 rim. Unfortunately the wheels are only available in offsets of et12 and et30, which leads my to my next question! I would like the wheels to sit on the edge of the arches but i definately dont want them to protrude from the arch itself, from the offsets above what would be the best option for my requirements? Anyone who had any advice or pointers i would be hugely greatfull. Nath

They have quite a few on camskill but i just wanted to be sure that they would fit

I'm looking at buying some rota torque drifts, but they are only available in 9.5 at the moment. my question is will a 245 tyre fit on the rim? i was thinking of going with the 9.5 width and using a 275/45/18 on the rear and 245/45/18 on the front. Can anyone see any problems with this?

Ok, i'm now in a position where im ready to place the order. I have spoken to a few places, Rare Rims have reccomended 18x8.5 et 35 front and 18x9.5 et 30 at the rear. Envy have said 18x8.5 et 30 (with spacer) front and 18x9.5 et 12 for the rear. To be honest Envy sound the better option as they will sit nearer the wheel arch which is what i want. The only other dillema i have is wether to get the 9.5 on front too, the reason why i would prefer 8.5 is just for the cost of tyres, on the other hand the bigger dish that i would get from the 9.5's on the front would look better.... hmmm. What does everyone think? any advice or opinions would be great.

I'd prefer them in the staggered set up as i dont want to be buying huge tyres for the front too, do you supply them in various offsets? i'd like to not have to use spacers and get a similar look to the car in the pictures in my above post.
