I'm defo doing the skyline type rear lights this year, ie 2 round lights each side instead of the std ambers, and have bought some marker lights to go on the bumpers, but that's more due to living on a bad bend.
I think the focus looks really nice with them on, maybe it's my IQ (45)!!

GOT to be a wind up surely?

Was expecting to see some nice BBS LM's or CH's when you were talking about hard to get. Not wolfrace
Surely if you're buying new, you'd get them in the et you need. Buying new wheels and having to get spacers to make them fit seems a bit backwards

There's a reason why certain wheels are chosen more than others! But as you say, you like them, and that is all that should matter.

As for the rear lights - that is a wind-up?

My old Saff had a set of these on when I got it. I'll be honest it looked totally shite and they were on there for about 15 mins.

REALLY poor choice of wheel for the car; they just don't suit. What colour was the car?

But it's the people on the outside of the car that have to see them

I was sucked in until you mentioned skyline style rear lights, pushed the wind up too far there

tbh tabetha, if there the wheels you like and makes you feel happy then thats all what matters, im not really a big fan either tbh, BUT what does it matter, good on you for not being a sheep!

you give some good tech and info tho when people are stuck so im sure that more than makes up for it

Me too but if he's hell bent on getting them then fair enough but I would atleast think about offset etc.

He wants to go for a 7.5/8j rim with 215/40 or 215/35 tyres and around a ET30-32 offset IMO
