Drove up north today to get them, 3 hours up in what seemed like hurricane conditions!

Bad pics i know they are off the phone and its new so not quite sure how to use it right yet!





Im well chuffed, always wanted these wheels and knew they would suit it!

THey need a small refurb as i want them to be perfect, but at least by having my old wheels i can do that now!

Oh and if the tyres look abit low in the pics thats before i inflated them abit as the fronts were 12 and 10 PSi

What are people running pressure wise on 215/35/18s? i put 32 in the front and 30 in the back for now!

I know they are dirty and so's the car but i couldnt wait that long to post pics

jacko - met chris at J16 of the M6, 150 miles each way but managed to blag the old dears Derv Corsa C so it only cost me 25quid in diesel rather than the 60-70 it would have cost in the astra
