thanks for the pics mate.. :) GOOD NEWS though.. my wheels... finally arrived. what. a. wait. :S worth it though! :)  ooh.. 8.5's on the left, 7.5's on the right.  8.5  7.5  back of 8.5. roomy in here.. :S can see the caliper clearance from the a-disk...  closer look.   lip on 8.5"  7.5"  caps and decals. I'm thinking the white stickers. no? closeup of the colour too. they're matte gunmetal...  will look so sharp with the neo-chro nuts..!   probably a little too wide. i got cheeky.. :S  gets close to everything. can still get my fingers behind the wheel though. luckily the 205/50 wont come past the rim! :)  cos there'd be trouble afoot.. :S manages to miss everything. strut, forwards control/trailing arm, caliper, tie rod end, etc..! :P will organize tires tomorrow. hopefully can sort the RE001's one more time.. hopefully on Saturday morning.. ;) finish off with a new shot of Graham The Sedan - taken on the weekend..

Wow cannot wait to see it grounded! You must be stoked, doesn't foul or clash with anything! Rear stagger is spot on, the Matte Grey / Chrome lip and fasteners subtle and classy as! ;) Congrats! look forward to seeing em for real!

Lovely wheels!! Love the contrast of polished lip and matt spokes, looks awesome. rears look a little too wide though.

+1!
205s on 8.5 rims will look a bit silly though I think, 225s at least.

Agree, look of the wheels is fantastic. With the outside edge of the wheel sticking out a fair bit past the guard/lip, I presume you need to fit a (relatively) skinny tyre stretched to the rim so the sidewall is tapered so the thing actually fits? Personally not a fan of these, and would compromise tyre performance, but thats just me.
Love the car though and its many looks you have going!!
Cheers

cheers for the enthusiasm everyone..! :D
booked in to get some Potenza RE002's fitted on Saturday.
F: 195/50 R15
R: 205/50 R15
paying waaay too much for the 205's in particular, but i'm just too excited to get tyres on the bloody things, and get them on!
overall too skinny for the wheels width's, but what can you do. availability/cost of a 225/45 R15 is just too much trouble, let alone getting it under the adub's little guards.
will get some pics up once they're on. :)

+1 I would have thought 8.5 rims are really too wide even for 225's I have 225/50 R15's on 8" rims and even they look stretched lol.

Hankook are the only half decent tyre manufature that makes a 225/45 r15, they make it in a few of their high performance tyres too. Toyo t1r's used to come in 215, but they discontinued them, same with 215 45 r15's in re001s.
I'm curious to your offsets, i'm currently looking at doing similar wheel sizes, but with work equip 03's.
