Guessing thats basically the visual difference from sticking classic offset numbers wheels on a blob ? The classics seem to have a shallower offset ?

Wheels are Ultralite Atec 1 ET 48, 5 x 100, 18" x 7.5 alloys and Falken 452 215/40 tyres borrowed from the classic while the Rotas are refurbed. But, yes, they do look 'different' compared to the Rotas :-P

Nice i do love the Rotas ,,, going for gold ?

Quite like the look of gun metal or dark anthracite. Similar to StevePPP's wheel/body colour ;)

Look spot on

Lucky 05-08-2014 10:47 AM

Very nice. Spot on colour too. :worthy:

Steve_PPP 05-08-2014 11:10 AM

They look much better :)

Keep an checking the nuts are tight over coming weeks as you use the car, normally wheel refurb companies don't do the bit that is in contact with the hub. If you notice any wheel balance issues it could be the powder coat is a different thickness on that bit?

Good colour choice there mate, car looks great:ok:
