I was... I was considering doing them ALL black, dish included... but I had a play in photoshop earlier and it looked truly awful...

I may do the centres, but am not convinced. Will see how I feel once I have the flat centres and 7.5j fronts.

Do you have to use spacers on the fronts with 7.5j's?

yeah I think they'll be staying as they are (apart from flat caps) if I'm honest, the results of photoshop weren't even worth saving, it looked horrible.

I'm tempted to do the centres in a darker silver though... gunmetally... maybe.

Daz - No idea on the tyres, haven't looked yet lol. They're a pretty hefty stretch though I know that much. Don't worry about the arches, I went to work on mine 'tramp style' with a claw hammer, went a bit mental and vented some anger... you cant tell from the outside though. winkeye

Ah fair enough... well if you're planning on swapping the tyres that would be handy. The previous owner wasnt all that fussed with rolling arches so a couple of these are a bit fubared on the sidewalls. You'll see in the pics. :wink:

What you cant see is the angry motorist behind the camera man, wondering why we just blocked the road and got out of the car. :twisted:

Looks ok. You only change them so regularly to give you something new to whore about :wink:

The staggered offset and flat centres will rule. Some nice pics too.

No.

Though the front springs on this one may be getting a bit of treatment to drop it down another 20mm or so to even up the arch gaps.

Love you too martin.
