That looks swish

F2.8 at 55mm, distance from the camera and crap lighting make the back wheel look odd.

Is that a troll attempt? Is that sarcastic? Doesn't Adam B study photography at uni?

keeps the new wheels overall radius as close to the originals as possible, the ABS system on the car is really sensitive and if you go too far either way it seems to screw it up

Got a switch on it, I leave it on most of the time though as it locks easy since fitting the 1144s.

Might be better now with the wider fronts, will have to try it!

I thought the rear looked a bit different

No a big fan of loads of sidewall on big wheels.
