Got mine from Halfords for like £4 or so.
...... Or is a locking wheel but socket stainless??

Slight change of plan. Wet about test fitting the wheels and all seemed to stick out a mile, fronts, with stretch I could just get away with however backs seemed to be a mile out the arches, which I can't understand as I was trying to replicate the stance of a few people on here. But cougar store sorted me out (thanks again for an amazing service)
Anyways I'll show you show fitted pics. 10j rear et15 and 9.5j et20
Front
With a 245 tyre on. As I say I could just get away with this although the backs were my main concern..
I did fit the rears with a tyre and say it down but unfortuably didn't get a picture, but still a standard jacked up test fit:
And here is one with the front (9.5j) on the back. This is more what I was looking for with regards to how it sits in the arch.
I shall revisit the wheel situation in the new year. Untill then, some brakes! Black diamond discs front and back (6 groove) and black diamond pads to match should be on Saturday
Also will be test fitting my v1 replica skirts next weekend (thanks to some advice from
Rodgeevans )
Also have an exhaust on the way, hoping it's something a bit different
-
Have my MOT coming up and 1 of my front although has a about 4mm tread is quite worn on the inside (still legal though I checked) although I am worried what MOT man will say, so wouldn't Mind picking up a cheap front tyre to temporarily replace it.
Have re40's on the from so if anyone has one of these even better cheers
225/45/18 cheers

my gunmetal grey is down on the logbook as silver

Why is camber adjustment needed on a 30mm drop?
-
What size tyres you running 350zad?
-
I had a leak from around that place, literally poured out when i tried topping my windscreen washer fluid up, turned out to be the hose running towards the healight washers
-
I had similar findings as you iMystic, with regards to trying to match people running the same setup and seemingly getting a different result.
I recently has some 9.5et 20 front and 10 et15 (1mm less outer extension than the sizes mentioned above) and i found they stuck out the arches a lot.
I too can vouch for the great service from cougar store, I can't fault the service he's given me and would recommend to anyone.
-
he does have a few other components such as the Y pipe, i wonder how these affect the sound?...
-
im hoping to do this after xmas, so hopefully ill be able to shed some light after then
-
Another little update, attempt 2 of the wheels. Just a little teaser pic untill I can source 2 more tyre and get them fitted Many thanks to cougar store for sorting me out! great service and very quick delivery

Looks really smart! ^^ Chelmsford graffiti wall right?
-
I wish i never saw this! any otther time i would be snapping that invidia up! GLWTS mate
-
I think it's the first ones.
-
Yeah, and a very members on here have advised me aswell.
I am going to get some aftermarket wheels yes, so the bigger sizes accommodate the larger rims, and keeping close to oem with the staggered sizes etc
-
Bought a set of wheels with these on, sold the wheels kept the tyres for new wheels. Was gonna run 245's alround, then it was bought to my attention that's not a good idea.
So I'm keeping 2 meaning these 2 are up for sale.
-Michelin Pilot Sports 245/40/18
-Both with about 7mm of tread on, even wear and as far as I can tell no repairs.
Logo's on sidewalls seem to of rubbed, take it that's why the precious owner didnt run them long. And see a small, crack? Only minor and not very deep atall.
Prefer collection by could probably post.
Based in Chelmsford Essex
£150 for the pair?
-
No sorry. Plan is 265/40/18 rear, 245/40/18 front.
To be fair I was going to run 245's alround untill an earlier thread of mine, then I was swayed otherwise for them reasons lol
-
Love it mate! good work!
Looks like you got the same retractable plate bracket as me, great little mod imo

-
sorry mate, they will be paired up with my 40's that are up front. Thanks anyway though
-
Looking at getting some 265's soon so figured I may just quickly see if anyone had any part worns going on here first..
Cheers
