Hi mate....

I have changed from standard to 18" , after running he 18"for 9 months going to admitt defeat and put the standard wheels back on. The handling on 18" is crap if you do nothing else, It may be different if you put a new rear beam on (£1,200ish) u then got to mod the exhaust to fit and I am sure there are some mods to do to the front as well , the list goes on....

I have a set of as new 182 Rondells and tryes to go if ur interested

Cheers Malc

Hi Mate...

To be honest was a little bit of a piss take because it is a tough one..on one hand they look the dogs but on the othe r the car doesn't feel the same....

I have no pics at the mo, they are 18" Rondells/Engals bought from Chris/Carnosoir 9 months ago. They are as new with Toyo tyres and have done 400 miles since put on. I paid £1,500...make me a sensible offer...

Cheers Malc
