+1 Super clean indeed [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Nice and Clean!

stunning looking, think im going to go for the same springs setup , as that looks perfect, ive currently got 205 40 17 tyres and coilovers

Those springs look so low.

Car looks great although I think clean plates and no tints would smarten it up.

New Rims at last :WOOT

Rota Torques in bronze. Just need to get the centre caps and I'm thinking black nuts also :think:

Wheels look great, and black wheels nuts would work. Also you can get the centre caps of ebay there is guy on there selling genuine ones for around £13 each [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Cheers mate I will take a look! The guy I bought the wheels from said he has 3 of the centre caps but forgot to bring them with him when he gave me the wheels so he is going to post them, therefore hopefully I'll only need to buy 1

I guess Anodised black wheels nuts is what I'm looking for, don't want anything that's going to flake off after a few turns with the wheel brace/gun.

Nice car fella [smilie=karls_thumb.gif] I really do like the Rota Torques

Did you go for the 17 x 7.5J or 8J?

7.5 with spacers, also running RE040 205/45/17 :salut:

10mm spacers mate? Were you not tempted to go for 215's with them being 7.5J?

Not sure on spacer size as they came with the wheels. Didn't go for 215's as I know 205/45/17 was designed for this automobile on this wheel size and I didn't personally see the need to change this. I have read that the 215's will fit on this setup though.

215's fit nicely on the standard rims and offer a bit more grip (minimal) but people opt them as they are slightly cheaper to buy. I think the standard alloys are 17 x 7J so running wider 7.5J rims you could probably get away with 225/40/17's if you really wanted to but the 205/45's will be fine.

Thanks, will definitely bear this in mind [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Wheels look immense!

looks good
i think it looks best without center caps though

Cheers guys I was worried about what they were going to look like before I put them on but I instantly loved it when I saw them on! My OEM's were in a right state so I had to do something :crazy:

I'm beginning to think this to

nice car, the bronze on a NHB works really well. need some more side view pics

STUNNING [smilie=karls_thumb.gif] simple yet effective! perfect stance, your springs seem lower than any others on here, looks great
