Im not a lover of black wheels tbh.They look a nice wheel though.What size are they.I think they would look better if you could get a small center cap for the hub part so that the wheel nuts will be showing

They aint black they're graphite ! Was thinking same about center already, although it will look better with a dark badge in the center of the cap for starters.

I agree with Glenn, and don't they make a wider rim with a deeper dish for the rear?

No they dont make a wider rim, only 8 X 18 but I did order 45mm offset for front and 35mm for the rears.

At the moment the I have spacers on the standards, 15mm front, 20 rear giving an offset of 37.5 / 32.5 f/r and they fill the arches perfectly, maybe a little too much on front. The new wheels will run without spacers and will fill the arches spot on. The fronts will be half way between standard and standard with the 15mm spacers. The back will be practically the same as with 20mm spacers.

Thanks for all the comments, turns out they sent the wrong centre, correct one much better but might run them without, should be able to get a badge or blank for the middle bit.
