Very nice. Nicely rolled arches, but is that from the usual arch roller or something else? I was looking to either make one or buy one.

dont buy one! come and use mine, im not far from you. its a normal rolling kit but i pushed it out as much as possible as i didnt know how the wheels would fit! kits is availble to members if anyone needs as it easy to use and companies charge £200 plus to do it

cant remember the exact offset, but the measurement from the inside of the hub to the inside of the wheel is the same as a mk1 rim, so it just sticks out 2 inches more to the outside. Tyres are ex btcc ones,

But sizes and prices would be good?

Also what u done to those mk1 arches they look more than just rolled?

Guess only issue I can see is they are going to plaster the side of the car without a covering / mudflap but then again if it's track focused then does it matter???

Cheers

Cheers mate, im loving them! paid about £600 for them theyre 17inch by 9 inch wide team dynamics with btcc ex slicks. im not bothered about mud on the car but im going to get a set for my road one so will need some guards i think. The arches are rolled with a normal rolling kit but i just pushed them out much more than normal (which wrecked the arch!) but im not worried about looks as i just dont want any rub, but i didnt know how much they would eactely fit till igot them and i have pushed it out too far but im not worried, its going to be a mk2 soon anyway.

Also on the weight of them i compared to a zs wheel with tyres on and they actually weigh nearly 2 kgs lighter than a zs wheel with tyres on. so saving unsprung weight as well as adding grip

Sweet :thumbsup:

Worth trying before I decide to cut the lips off and fit cut trailer arches a la oval hotrods.

PM me your address and email, we'll have to meet up sometime. Hopefully before the end of the month as the zed is being sorned for a while.
