i managed to get these real cheap! brand new...16x8j fronts 16x9J rears running 1954516 alround. (awesome stretch on the back) i know a few wont like it becuase they are reps but i cant afford real bbs's at the minute. i dont think anyone can deny how awsome it looks though. let me know what you think!

Do look nice. Buy loads of rim wax to protect them and watch out for kerbs & pot holes.

yeah got all that stuff at work mate. had to do abit of grinding to get the rears on. they was hitting the shock and the trailing arm. 9j et15. need to getting some proper springs cuz the chopped ones are to soft now when you got wheels hanging out. do you know anyone with a set of 60mm springs>? cant seem to find them without the shocks and all. cheers

Look really nice, I think 16"s and dropped liked yours are the way to go - looks wise at least :)

you can tell they aren't real bbs. because the bolts round the edge don't line up with the spokes .
however has brightened up the car. no denying that

Car looks awesome, really!!!
I am jealous of your roads guys...
With the 15's (not 16's!!! wouldn't dare around here...) I have big problems on Greek roads...
Thinking of replacing with 14's...

Or basically anywhere that isn't a motorway in the UK. :D

(Except even the M60 is having subsidence issues causing huge unexpected tears in the surface!)
