Re: After 3 years of wheel shopping... centre caps
Michelin PSS fitted over the weekend... tyres great - lots of rim protection as seen in the pic for 18s, the fronts 225 on 8s fit snugly, the 265 rears on the 9s pretty square, lots of sidewall on both which is what I was after.
... but not sure about the wheels, they have a bit of bulbage before the concave starts, so looks a bit odd, I think 35 profile front/rear would make that visually less strange. Will need to get them on the car to see the overall profile look.
The tall profile PSS tyres look great though if you like the chunkier tyre look. So plan to get the eibachs on and will try the wheels while I get the 224s refurbed...

Re: After 3 years of wheel shopping... 1st look on
They're finally on.... still on standard springs. The front definitely needs dropped, rears look ok and centre caps to be installed, but am liking so far...

Nice wheels, definitely needs lowering springs though to complete the look

Re: After 3 years of wheel shopping... on and lowered
Eibachs on, the difference an inch (20mms between forumites) makes on the front is incredible.
Just needs centre caps and a good detail

Looks lovely, but it's CRYING out for tyre shine
