Sits pretty much perfect on the Teins. Missing 1 centre cap so Ive removed them completely on one side to match. These are very light wheels. Now looking for Gracer skirts and front lip. :D

Staggered 8x18 215/35/18 front and 9x18 225/40/18 rear. No rubbing. Dont remember the offsets but they are good! Can go much wider on the rear tyres in due time.

Looks immense!!!

I had a white set with red inserts in 17" but as for being light...... :shock: Mine weighed loads in comparison to other wheels!!

Just take good care of them because refrub centres wil not touch the inner lips!!

Thanks mate!

Yeh these felt light and I had Enkei RPF1s before these in 16s.

I will stay miles away from kerbs as the lip outer lip sticks out from the tyre. :-s

After a complete refurb by the repairers can a paintshop not detail the inserts? Looks tricky though!

They look tremendous! Really nice looking wheel. Offsets are just right. Especially at the front. 8)

Thanks guys. :D

The ride quality itself is not that much different to the 16s! A tiny bit firmer but certainly not harsh with the Tein S-Techs. The handling isnt as `chuck it round corners` as much but still does corner well. :D But it does look really good. Much better in real life instead of the pics. :)

I took those wheels to 3 different refurb centres and they said they couldn't touch the inner lip :(

Best to do it yourself if it is just a spray job......although means masking up every single metal plate on that inner lip :lol: :roll:

These are 8" wide upfront and 9" at the rear. Fit perfectly with no rubbing at all!

Stretched! Im planning much wider like 224 or 255 on the rears.

I hope thats not a 215/35 - You mustve given the tyrefitter a right headache. :lol:
