Not the most exciting wheel to ever grace an RST but they are tough wheels.

My MO's went on with no problems at all. They only rubbed while cornering hard on the rear. We have trimmed the arch back to get greater clearence as I have to use these wheels for track as 15's will not clear my brakes.

Mine are 7 x 17 ET40

Personaly I recon Ricks a closet fan of MO's

His love for them is masqueraded behind a wall of hate, disgust & intolerance of cars that are proudly shod in them.
