For mine I like the idea of 8x17 TH's with ET35 on the front and ET25 at the rear. I have sent 8x18 Monte wheels to Norway for several 3drs but have never seen a pic of them fitted.

Agree with jacko, pauls 500 looks awesome on the cxn's, perfect wheel for the 500/3dr imho
They look good on track aswell lol

Always thought escos rims looked good on a 3dr until I saw one on split rims. Single bolt tourong car wheels like Ryan had on his look the absolute nuts.

Yes they are, pretty sure they are ET33 being genuine magnesium wheels.
And please answer my email when you've got a couple of spare minutes
