Looks nice. Ive been considering getting some 18" MO's for mine. What width and offset are they? Do you have any issues with the tyres rubbing?

LOL at all the comments, many thanks guys for all comments good and even not so good, always good to get opinions, but many thanks again all

G10ENS - the wheels are et35, 8J, fronts need arches trimming slightly at the top, rears I already trimmed as ran 20mm spacers to fill arches.

COSSIE4i - Morning Steve, you are right, maybe should sell it on, any ideas? LOL

cossiedad - should really clear the garage as too many spares / wheels etc,

I prefer the 17's, and are what I have, not your wheels but 17's, I wen't 17 with 45's as wanted a bit of cushioning between rim and road due to the wonderful nature of our roads these days!!
