Love the wheels think you should maybe go for a bigger profile tyre when they wear down in my opinion to fill the arch's, its all good going lower but a pain on the bumps etc.

Looking good, what make of coilovers you running?
And do you have a picture of the car with your old rims?
They look spot on tho, where did you get them from and what are the specs of the wheels?

Thanks for the reply, When I get to the stage of front brakes with mine I was thinking of going if they fit with focus rs discs and porsche monoblocs, reason being i've got a few pairs lying around from projects that i've done before, I know the callipers fit the discs it just depends if the discs fit sapphire hubs and if a bracket can be made if so then i'm in business

a decent machine shop should be able to machine brakets n i would have tought the disk should fit as i know the frs wheels do
