Looks really nice mate. So what tires you have on now? What profile do you now have and what profile was giving you problems? Smile

Looks better with centre caps Imo and probably could do with being dropped ~30mm.

Lovely looking Rallye though fair play to you mate.

Tidy dave... I actually really like them. Think it could do with some colour in the centre or team dynamics stickers to break up the all white. They do look mint though. Glad you finally got them on.

Oh and what tyre pressures do people run with 17's?Dunno


Std tyre pressures dude 36

If that feels a bit harsh drop 1 or 2" off the wheel size
