So to sum these wheels up - they look the absolute bollocks but you have to fit coil overs to get them on but you can't go any bigger than standard calipers unless you want to space them considerably on the front losing the staggered look and making the front too wide.

The 18" Vintage Calibre look incredible!!!!!!
I phoned everywhere today, including Wheelbase, trying to match your £549, but no where could do it including the drilling to 4/108 pcd and delivery. Did you have to pay extra for shipping or get them drilled yourself?
Best so far is £575 including drilling and delivery from Carnoisseur.

I need these wheels in my life!
I take it that they are a no no with big brakes from what I've read....
Is it a bit cheeky to put BBS badges in the centre?

i ordered special fitment lensos and they had to be drilled and machined to my own offset, from car audio and security in hayes and the were delivered to my door in under 48hrs..... ive worked out they seem £10/20 more than others but the service was fantastic...
speak to jason and he will sort out what ever you want, but remember in calibre theres no 9j 18s in the country for a couple of months.
but you can get staggered width 17s with in 2days delivered £500 all in

Im glad i went for the 18" because they do look the nuts, but if i did have a big brake conversion i would have been gutted i couldnt get them on. As it is only a 2mm spacer on the front i think its a small price to pay for a awesome look, want to get some polished stainless centres cut for them dont like the standard badges.

if the car aint a stupid fast track slag then i wouldnt worry to much about the barkes aslong as they are uprated discs and pads ect...
