all coments welcomed :D im over the moon they have no major damage at all, theres a bit of rub but its only on the arch lining so no biggy,

i also found out that when my car was in a body shop about a year back they rlled my rear arches so thats a plus lol id never noticed as i dint ask for it to be done and they didnt tell me 8)

Not to keen on the wheels personally I think there's to many spokes....... Maybe different in the flesh : /

Plus on the arch roll tho... If they have done it.....

I do like them, how much clearance you got between the tyre and your arch ?

Yeah I didn't notice it my friend came withe me and he noticed as the lip wasn't there and compared to the other 6n2 the were slightly larger.

Ahh thanks for the opinion, I can see what you mean but I do like them I think they suit alright. And are a massive turnaround from my 14" SE alloys 8)

Il have measure tomorrow but it's not a lot lol. there is rub but as I said it's only on the arch lining plastic so it's not a major eventually il put like 5-7mm spacers on the rear.

They look smaller than 56mm so your best removing them and measuring the diameter mate
