Very nice Rob :thumbup:

[dubbie]

nice and the stretch looks great but they wont last long in the salt!

[bahnstormer vrs]

They look smashing; good choice of offset, they fit in the arches really nicely.

Bet you're :D

What tyres did you get? Just curious.

[Bodie]

Looking good all you need now is to get rid of the word Mak on them with some vRS ones like on the wheels in the boot:thumbup:

I am well pleased

I gor Dunlop Direzzas in the end - decent price and the online reviews I found were good.

And no they don't salt the roads here

[mattbeef]

Looking very good mate

[skinnyman]

They'd look better on my car. Fancy sending them over to sunny Scarborough for a bargain price?

[KenONeill]

And no they don't salt the roads here

Even if they did, it's the middle of Summer!

Very nice! 16s just look too small. Defo need some 17s on mine...

[martziniuk]

They look good Rob but i think you now need some bigger brakes to fill the gaps

[Railroad]

Very nice, but I always prefer cars to be original. No offence mind.......

Looks spot on.

What width of rims are they?

Im going to guess 8's or 8.5's with that stretch.

Looks good.

Nice choice but do I sense a coilover kit on the horizon now???

[RobClubley]

Nice choice but do I sense a coilover kit on the horizon now???

Well.. no actually

If I fit coilovers in NZ I have to have a separate certification on the car to allow it to pass the WOF (MOT)

So coilovers are kind of a pain. Plus it's already only a few mm over the NZ minimum ride height of 100mm.

[mark&lisa]

Very nice!

Very nice Rob, how do they feel on the road compared to the others?

Very nice Rob, how do they feel on the road compared to the others?

I haven't had a proper drive yet but on normal 50km/h roads my first impression is good. They feel a little firmer but not really much harsher on bumps.

The steering definitely feels a little more direct.
