sorry, just realised you said et and not 'what are they' ET25 so ive used the 15 mm spacers. I put them on this morning but again...im not sure if their too chavvy. The centres dont look the best with having no covers but heres a couple of pics.
What do you guys rekon, use these for now or put the turbines back on ???? Im not sure if i think it looks ok with having it lowered or wether it looks junk

I do like the 4 mudflaps!

I quite like the overall look. The black centres and polished lip is a look I might eventually go for myself but using 15 inch Supalites.
Your car certainly doesn't look chav to me and looks much more sporty.
Interior and valet look great btw

Liking the car dude, wheels don't look chavvy at all

Cheers folks, their kinda growing on me. First thing i did when i took it out was run right against a fooking curb tho! Made a right mess of the front left but im planning to paint them again anyway as they've been done by the previous owner and the closer you get that tattier they look. Think i might just spray them all black. Not bad for 60 quid at all!

Looking good.

Impressive! Car looks much better now it's all cleaned up. The new wheels are better than the turbines, but keep the lip polished!

if you drive along the kerb, you can also clean the gutter with those mudflaps

Some nice Alpine 6x4's on e-bay at the moment. I just bagged a lovely pair of Missions for £20.
I've decided just to go with a basic set-up. I have JBL 6 inch for the front and the Mission 6 inch for the rear with a Blaupunkt London CD head unit that accepts my i-phone. Total cost a shade over 50 quid.

Muflaps are for winners dear boy! Besides if i take them off its not very nice underneath.

Nice bit of kit their retro. Might get a beefier stereo setup when i have some spare money. I have a tape player from a subaru at the mo

I think the wheels are pretty good, though if you have 15mm spacers you now have massive choice in wheels if you wanted to change. Looking good
