Only for BHP, not torque.

From this...

To this...

Offset is ET35 on these, which is about the limit. Any lower and the arches would start scrubing.

Car looks perfect in that second photo down.

Wheels look great, I'd leave them silver if I were you.

Perhaps a colour like this or a slightly darker silver.

I want a metallic silver that will make them look a lot more shaped, and 3D... if that makes sense. I have some Rusto-leum silver left from when I sprayed those JDM EF Si wheels, which is a great silver, comes out awesome, and is nice durable paint. But that VW wheel does look good!

Little update....

Tegiwa shifter extension out, as I'm not really feeling it. It's easier for me to drive with the shifter lower down.

Old head unit out, new one in. Very impressed with the new one, quick loading on USB! Only things it doesn't have that I will miss is the folder select, and dedicated sub controls. So I just turned up all the levels on the sub.

And I only just noticed the surround doesnt completely fill the gap in the centre console.

I also fitted an A/C button lol

Lovely wheels, suit your car very well. They clear the brakes without spacers then I take it?

For some strange reason they look quite big to me, like 16's

Your car just needs tucking from the back about -15mm and it will look spot on

Exactly what I was thinking, a darker/greyer silver for sure.

Yeh 10-15mm on the back would make the world of difference.

Yep, I don't want them to clash too much with the white.

I wouldn't change a thing.

Spot on mate, nice to see some silver wheels instead of black, red, pink, blue etc...

Went outside this morning to notice all the cars covered with lots of dust/ash.

I'll upload some more pics later I took with my proper camera.

Had to wash both cars twice to get it all off.

does it damage your paint if left ?
