again thanks for the comments,

Kemix - yeah wheels have made a difference lol

l16ydl - just had a look at the pics of your car, will need a lot of tlc, best thing to do would be to replace the damaged panels, sweet interior by the way, good luck on fixing her up!

Jonesy - thanks, is that a tech 1 motorsport?

MurphyE30 - for these rims no spacers are required nor have any modifications been done to the arches doesn't rub at all, even though it's lowered, rims will bolt straight on.

adamski80 - yeah they have just been released in 17", i was going to go for 16x9, but i they would be too small, plus the arches would have had to have been pulled, so I emailed lenso regarding any other sizes avaliable and yeah that's how I cam across these, they could also be coming out in 18" too.

wullie325i - cheers mate

Jonesy1968 - My car when new was mauritius blue, I thought it still was, but according to guy who does body work on my dads cars, it isn't, so yeah it must have had a respray at some point in its life

appletree - thanks, they are 17x7.5, they are avaliable in 8j but are also avaliable in 8.5j
Faz - thanks, they cost ₤900 with tyres, they will be out officially in 4 days, that's when hopefully ppl should have them in stock, i think i'm the first guy to get hold of a set in this 17" anyway they should hopefully get cheaper, atm they're taking back orders.
