depends mate generally you find the flange is fucked too there about 80 quid from ford i think, ive done both mine as they tend to disitegrate pretty quickly once you change wheel sizes, budget for about 150 and you should be fine

Thanks James, should be sorted by the time i get back from hols

As for my sig, I couldn't decide which one looks best so I wrote a script to randomly select one of the three images on refresh... works quite well i think
