Very nice mate, needs slamming now though! It's a nice contrast with the blue, I agree that you should get some xpower graphics to go on there now.

is the 10kilo's with tyres? mine are 18's with tyres....
not lowering though....am having issues when going over speed bumps or potholes where the front two wheels hit the inside plastic in the arches...remedy?

have to say, they are pretty simila to the OE wheels which is why I chose them. Think its a good choice bud!

what part of the arch is it hitting? I found I had to space my front wheels out 5mm with the 18"s fitted as it rubbed on the inner arch and shock cup

no idea, not investigated it yet... I take it the plastic disks I got with the wheels are the spacers?

Maxxed_Ross · 31-10-07, 02:23 PM

no they are for centering them properly

Mine are rubbing on the inner part of the front wing - it's not lowered and it's OE 11-spoke alloys as well.

that's weird. What size of tyres are fitted to it?
