Default New wheels?

Seriously thinking of fitting a set of these to the 3 door. Anybody ever done it / seen them on before?

Rainbow & Pot of gold springs to mind.

well they occasionally come up in 17's (very occasionall) but generally in 9" wide versions.

But i think there are only 2 sets in the country in 18's.

Then of course you need the relevant hub mods to fit them

stick with the original plan then. Although machining a set of hubs would be the easy bit.

yeah thats definately the easier option.

Personally for easy i would go standard 4 stud pattern. Think you will be looking at about £600 Per Rim for the BBS GT2 Rims like above

FPMSL had to be done


as for it being mirrored, done that to shop the wheels easier


or the BBS logo would have been backwards
