Right yes the new wheels are on. Apologies right now for the quality pictures as this camera isn't that good in the dark. Better picys will be put on tomorrow. I love them and think they look awesome and puts my own touch to the car.

Some may say the old wheels are better but then thats up to you as it your opinion if we all where the same then it would be a boring world.

Some may notice the centre caps are different but there is a good reason for that. the driveshafts sit a little too far out for the centrecaps that came with the wheels so my mate found some as a temperary fix till i get 4 matching.










Hope you like and

I like it, wheels look spot on. Not a fan of those wing mirrors though.

Yes they came with centrecaps but the front 2 don't fit due to the driveshafts so i am on the hunt for 4 matching that stick out a bit.

Standard if I'm not mistaken, and if it was originally a 1.8SRi.

I liked the other wheels but felt they were a bit small looking - these are much better.

I had contemplated this but thought that to be butchery is it ok to do it and tool you used dan? Also the spacers i think would bring on rear scrubage
