Chris`I Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Look good, seem em somewhere before in a different colour though i heard that you had yours painted any chance of some pics? When I get a good sunny day I'll do some of them fitted, but for now... Did you have any issues with wheel nuts? I found that the ones from my Rays were too wide to fit in the Rota holes with the socket on them so Phil had to send some new ones down Quote
macca Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Am I just being a spaz or on the back wheels do the spokes stick out alot further than the fronts? Quote
Chris`I Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Am I just being a spaz or on the back wheels do the spokes stick out alot further than the fronts? They're staggered so the rears "stick out" more than the fronts. The centre hub is set back in further. Another quick pic of mine... Quote
S1 HNK Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 both look really good, interesting to see the comparison of the painted centres (which personally i think look better especially on the gunmetal) but each to there own. just keep those polished lips clean and waxed!!!! Quote
macca Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 You got any better pics of that varis lip chris? Quote
Chris`I Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 You got any better pics of that varis lip chris? Still waiting for that nice sunny day. If you're out on the Wales Run, you'll get to see it in person Quote

I found that the ones from my Rays were too wide to fit in the Rota holes with the socket on them so Phil had to send some new ones down no probs with the nuts but i did have a a prob with the rear centre caps as you need to put them on the wheels before you put the wheels on. i found this out after snapping the lugs of one first Quote

I put mine on before I put the wheels on the car, didnt even think about it. I had also heard people in the US being unable to even use the centre caps for some weird reason. A load of them run without them Quote
chris w Posted March 11, 2008 Author Posted March 11, 2008 yeah all good though now. i was thinking about getting mine sprayed after i heard Phil say you were . but ill leave for the bit. but they do look Quote
N15MNO-Daron Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Sorry i meant full size spec... 18/35/265 rears 18/35/235 fronts? (think i wrote it backwards but nvm) Quote
Chris`I Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Sorry i meant full size spec... 18/35/265 rears 18/35/235 fronts? (think i wrote it backwards but nvm) Mine are 245/35/18 and 275/35/18. Slightly smaller rolling radius than standard, but ratio stays the same between front and rear so no TC light and Phil assures me it gives less sidewall flex for better handling. They weigh a bit more than my Rays (comparing new front to old rear as they are the same size), but handling seems to be much better. Wet grip of the Falkens seems to be slightly less, but more predicable over my previous Pzero Rosso Quote
