Anyone fancy 17/18'' cos 4x4 sharktooths
Was thinking i'd like to keep the OE look if i go for a brake upgrade, so i've emailed compomotive about the possibility of doing some 17 or 18 inch sharktooth reps, in a similar vien to the 18'' escos wheels that were available
They are quite happy to entertain the idea, just trying to gauge interest into how many people might like a set?

17x8 Sharktooths would be cool! However, they'd look stupid on my Evo.
They'd look awesome on a tidy Saff right enough.

Sharktooths look great... but I've never understood people wanking over Lattices?! I personally don't think they're very nice and must be a complete ball ache to clean properly!!

My 3dr rims I can easily clean to perfect in under 10mins... There sealed that well I only have to run the hose pipe over then and there spanking.
Not a great pic but you get the idea.

I'm gonna have to look into this wheel sealing business... sounds like short term pain, for long term gain.

Depends on cost, brake caliper clearance, offset, minimum number needed to produce.
