Liking the TH2 on saffs... Think I prefer the original TH, as they look marginally easier to clean!

What tyres are you running? Are you on Coilovers or shocks and springs?

Yes it was for you matey
Considering 8" wheels for mine, but I'm concerned about the tyres catching.

Not an expert on this, but I would say that you need to look at the ET as much as the size. There is room for 8" with stretched tires like mine, but since I have ET 25 on the rears they can happen to catch the arches a tiny bit with a little weight in the back going too fast over bumps. Bearing in mind that it is lowered by 25 mm or thereabout. I am planning to roll the lip of the arches, which will solve it completely. - my personal view is that it is a shame to see sapphs with rear wheels hidden inside arches. They should sit as near the edge as possible but that means front and rear has to be different ET
This is a good little tool to help decide your new wheel size

Thats what I thought, the colour you have now is much nicer the standard finish is just a little too dark.

Yes as tempory wheels, Needs a 5mm spacer to clear on front. (If it's Cosworth brakes)
TBH, Makes the car look like a Cosworth Rep.
Back on refurbed Lattices now, If I were to change wheels it'd be Softline RS7.

Got Hocks on my Saph but i think the polished RS7s look the best but they are soft as shite and cant put big brakes behind them.
