which wheels this week..
So what do you guys think? I have a set of white comps to go on my car but they are without tyres at the moment so managed to borrow a single wheel to try on mine for clearance reasons. Its does rub but with a 215/35/18 I think it may clear ok..
I also borrowed some BBS wheels as a backup just in case the comps don’t fit, what the opinions on these? Or should I just leave the OZ on there...
Big thanks to the guys who lent me the wheels
cheers chaps

I like all three 
john i tried the OZ rim on my rs2k and it looked great but didnt get time to take a pic as it started raining......
if you lower the back down the bbs rims will look sweet but that mo on the front works too

my god what have you done to the BBS 
is your car standard ride height or something?
or was it just that you didn't let the suspension settle?
were'nt MO's standard on cossies?

So it looks like MO's from you guys then, must say if they fit with the 215 rubber i do prefer them, Still like the BBS wheels too though.. maybe i will get both and swap them for a change now and again
I also have another problem with the BBS, they dont fit over my brakes I couldnt turn front wheel with that fitted.. I could use a spacer perhaps though to clear the caliper.
Dean take some pics when you have it on mate, would like to see it.
Think my cars standard height at the rear RSnissan, it does look silly with the BBS at the back doesnt it Good job i have a set of lowerd springs on standby

Noooo its flat is it, oh well it must be the valve where its been sat about for ages.. Ive decided im going to try and get my white comps machined dowe to an ET38 which i think will fit perfect 
Do you still want the OZ if I dont have the BBS?

Good job i have a set of lowerd springs on standby that will make a world of difference dude.The MO's do look spot on though especially on a moonstone car
what size are the hispecs just out of interest?

No probs Andy, yes these are the saint’s wheels.
Rab I was just thinking of that today if the 18" comps don’t fit of course..
Does anyone know of a very low profile tyre I can put on these to maximise clearance? I think a 215/35/18 is the lowest profile but it seems to me that the height of tyres does vary between manufactures with different tyre treads etc. I tyre that curves over the wheel as opposed to having a square edge would be best.
Cheers
