One of 2 perfect wheels for the Evo. they actually look superb on that punto lol.

A deep bronze colour would look amazing against the grey.

Epic choice. I wanted these for my Mazda!

And great colour choice too, that's the similar scheme to my Zetec S, grey on grey, I don't think I ever got a negative comment, can't wait to see it

Looks like you've been pulled out of a hedge backwards.

Thanks for everyones comments! I have now removed the gearknob, didnt like it.
Anyway, had a trial fit of the wheel last night. As I suspected, they're actually ET38 not ET30. At first, I was a little disheartened but now feel its actually worked in my favour.

- 8mm closer to the hub on the rear means less chance of rubbing.
- Running a 20mm hubcentric will bring it only 2mm off the initial fitment of ET30+10mm spacer.

I think I will try a 245/40/18 tyre too and I've also chosen my colour for the wheels. Wheel set up will owe me around £1400 once sorted :-|

I have considered bronze actually. Sean's S14a has bronze GTR's and they look lovely but I can't help think they need to match with the carbon/grey theme. The colour I have picked is proven to look incredible anyway

They won't be the same colour as the body, I'm not that daft. I'm a genius at this kind of thing anyway.

Thanks for the comments. I need to sort tyres and spacers but finances dont allow at the moment! Hopefully within the next month.
