Any rubbing issues? even when the cars fully loaded?

Looks great.

Is it just me, or do those rims look identical to the MRR GT1's?

No catching, they pass the arch nicely, but still fill it.

You know the old secret service thing. If I tell you, I have to kill you.

As i'm friends with the owner, I got them at a more than preferential price and had to promise not to tell anyone. I don't know how much he retails them for normally.
Update
Just spoke to them and best price they will do is ? 1475,- . That will be for the normal silver finish. If you would want them colour coded, you'd need to sort that out yourself, as the painter who did mine is not willing to do another set. Tyres with that price would be 245/35/20 Toyo Proxes T1-R front and 275/30/20 Toyo Proxes T1-S rear. If you want anything different in tyre brand and/or size you best call Wayne at wheelmania on 0121 6888844

Here's how they look in the standard silver finish

Not really, but in a way, yes. I swapped the M-sport springs for Eibachs, supposedly adding another 15mm to the drop, but in fact, I think they did not lower it anymore at all. Better handling, yes, but no more lowering. So that's what it roughly will be on the standard M-sport.
Eibach seems to be extremely conservative with their E60 springs.
