Default RL7's on Karlos' Es Cos

im sorry for lack of pics but its took me 2 weeks to upload this one, either my comp or photobucket.... any how, after a night of hubcentric spacers, new studs, lots of banging, karl complaining and the biggest plate of spag bol ever we ended up with this

There WRC wide track versions, so have ET33. Ive fitted 20mm hubcentric spacers, so Now Et13 and they fill the arches a treat!

Speaking with monster, i could have gone ET8 like he has.... deffo would have filled the arches then!!

looks the nuts that... the rims suit to a T.

there was a gloss black at National Day with White RL7's n that look the dogs dangly's as well...

but having silver makes the car look more stylish than rallyish.

They where to ridiculous of an offset, that they stuck out of the car by 40mm

But I sold them, and kept the tyres for a set of comps in the future

Hubface only had about 6mm of meat on them - so that ruled that out.

I have no clue what car they where made for, probaly a race car or something.

They where the only pictures I took, looked mint I must add, but i didn't like that fact that for one they were illegal and two, the first bump I went over would have probably ripped a wing off.................
