Lowering helps a lot even if you have the 19"'s and Sport Suspension. The additional 25mm drop in front, and 15mm in the back that H&R Coilovers have compared to my Sports Suspension have not only transformed the look, but more importantly the handling responsiveness. The amazing part is that the Mich PS2's have combined to make the ride incredibly quiet yet supple and smooth.
Michelin PS2 rulez!

Well spotted you guys they are a very good replica of the 166 M sport only in 18" x9" not 9 1/2 (I checked the invoice) the tyres fit OK I took advice from several tyre company's and in fact the 275/35 rear's not only look well but protect the rim from kerbing etc. I had 15mm spacers fitted before and with 275 tyres I had to remove them just too wide i'm afraid. The car is already lowered using eibach springs I wouldn't want to go any lower to protect the ride quality. I know some you guys frown at replica rims but at the price I paid for these and with a 2yr guarantee I couldn't walk away.

The pics dont do the car justice but I will post some more.

Oh and have a look at Pukalan 19" wheels and tell me the difference both in appearance and the space left at the rear around the wheel arch. Just my veiw

Oh and 6spdMan these are not knock offs that infers stolen in my country!

When I use the term knock offs, I mean copies/replicas/reproductions, not hot goods. Forgive the lack of political correctness in my choice of words.

I am a big fan of Darren Clark by the way.

In future don't slag off another members car before you know what you're talking about, it seems if you havn't seen it it doesn't exist. So get your facts right before you speak in otherwords engage your brain before your mouth
Now get over this and move on and if you havn't still got what my last post was about seek a second opinion in fact always seek a second opinion.

6spdMan

I never slagged off your or anybody else's car. If you want to infer something that never happened that is your right. You're not worth any more of my time, as valueless as it may be.

I think the wheels look great norham. What other sizes do they come in?
