the supplier i was getting my rh turbo porsche wheels off rang me today, they're no longer suppling the wheels in the fitment i need  the offset would be ET27, lowest i can go is ET30 on an 8" rim, with a 195 tyre, so i dont want to chance them
so i'm on the hunt for new wheels

ET30 is me at a push, when i tried my rear wheels just now, sat like...
the wheels i had originally ordered would've been ET35, would've been a nicer fit.
wouldnt like to see a fitment like them in the pic, 3mm further out, with a wider tyre, in 17s

have the ET cut down at a mach shop, cost you about £30 per wheel.
get hold of Boyracer2002 and ask him who did are wheels, he did mine and his, coverted mine (Ford to Vauxhall) and boyracers (saxo to vauxhall).
the blokes called Ian and is a awsome when it comes to wheels.
