okay £225, but that means you'll have to put your old rims back on the car and get your cambers and stuff re-done again!!

I thought they were good, knew there stuff, showed you the computer readings before they started any adjustments to the cambers, the guy that owns the place does a lot of track racing stuff, also suggested spacers for the back wheels etc., worth a try :y...Brockley Road, south east london, SE4 :y

Maaaaa BEBBY! That is lookin the absolute t$ts!  8-) Are the wheels the brand new ones that were advertised recently??? A real credit  :y

RE the spacers. Mr MV6 Catera man on this other thread...
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1190070530
....used some saab spacers that look great. Possibly a little too wide though? Perhaps 30/40mm required? Don't want the new tyres rubbing on the arches though.

Actually, not sure if you knew, but the sportstar wheel design is also available in a set with different sizes front-back. The 18in ones specified in the irmscher omega brochure supplement are actually wider at the back to fill the arches.

They are the rims advertised recently by Nova_Turbo, the bloke in the place I was at suggested 10mm?

All round yes, hence the reason why you can put spacers or buy larger width rims for the rear. I have to replace my rears tyres soon, so when I order them I will be putting spacers on the rears. As appears kwik fit b*****ks f****rs have been giving me 93y pirelli rosso rubber, whereas thought it was 95y and noticed the difference when the gut put on one new tyre and done the cambers and advised about the difference on the others. The rubber protrudes outwards more from the edge of the rim, whereas the 93y's are almost flush with the rim edge.
