Thanks. I know they didnt come in this colour but I always wanted a barbados green hatch. Just need to find some FR's now. That sound sabout the same offset I have. I think my biggest problem is the 295's. I might just have to go to 275's. My guards have just been cut to 5mm of the bolt holes for the flares.
I just like the look of the wide tyres.

I just checked out their web site. Allot of nice looking wheels but I didnt see any thing that looked like a FR? Do you know what they were called.

They would be illegal because they have no center caps ? I know everything else from America will kill you guys, but I guess I could selastic some caps on if it would make the different.. ;)

No man not the caps lol, if they are a racing wheel there usually not legal to use on the public roads mate. I know the transport authority are strict but not that strict, I hope?

Well, the thing that the company that made them, did as for the "race spec" nature of them is that the outers have a narrow drop area to give more brake caliper clearance. No big deal really, just limited what offset they could be built too compared to "normal" outers. The centers are forged, but other higher end wheels are like that as well.

Seem to be the rage, a smaller set would probably look nicer though.
