I got them for a very good price with fresh rubber so thought I'd try them. Wasn't too sure myself when I first bought them and got them on but they do grow on you and look even better in the flesh.

Cheers! 19s mate, thinking about having the fronts of the rim face done white and the inside and back done black so it's not as hard to keep clean. There coming off for the winter though. I'm also still on the look out for a nice set of bentleys or some bbs super rs reps in 19" but nobody seems to do them :(

Cheers mate, Funny you should say that, I think I've caught the wheel bug. Looking in to a set of 19" Bentley splits. Will be doing the centres purple with a polished lip, will be leaving them as they are for now and will look at selling these in november/ new year.

For the sake of 5-6 mm to push the wheels out a little I don't think it's worth it. Plus I don't think there's enough room as the tyres are already tucked under the arch. Would need a lower profile tyre I would of thought and more stretch. They will more than likely be coming off in November and either be powdercoated white or sold to make way for some 3sdm 0.05 19" or Bentley splits 19"

Yeah it is mate haha got family round that area. I'm normally around Sunderland and Washington, Everytime I see a standard one I can't believe how high the ride height was. If your thinking about coilovers just give me a shout and you can have a look and ride in mine. How are you liking the roc so far?

Loving it mate ! I want the H&R springs haven't got the budget for coil overs :-( or should I say the misses would kill me if I was to spend that money on them lol

I'm putting gloss black badges on mine very soon. Just waiting to get them back from my mate so if u wanna see them let me know.

Depends what look you want. 35mm just wasn't low enough for me but it does make a big difference, I don't like any arch gap. I couldn't justify spending 2-3g on air ride unless I was going to be taking it to shows so settled for coilovers. Just sent you an inbox about badges mate :D

Cheers, I've got it sitting better since the coils have settled. Well there's not many nice back drops in Sunderland, had to wait for the perfect moment not to get a Chav pushing a kid in a pushchair with a Gregg's sausage roll in its mouth to shut it up haha! If I could work out how to use this dslr without being in auto I'd have some much better pics.

Nice wheels! What's the ride like with KW coilovers? I find the OEM setup rather bumpy, and i'm thinking of getting my car lowered.
