Im going to start tinkering with the look of my fl mv6 and im going to start with some deep dish alloys. Does anyone know where is best to get hold of any or have some for sale?

imo 8.5j is good selection.. but 19 will leave a narrow place for tyre so you will be forced to use very low profile tyres..

and a pothole will easily bend those nice wheels  :-\

I hear what you say cem the 18s are dirt cheap as well and could have a bigger wall

So the extra space created with that spacer is for a reason ? To create distance from the caliper or they would foul the caliper  :-\ Sorry  :-[ just trying to understand why these are needed but i agree the wheels cem has looks superb  ;)

those wheels are 120 pcd.. anyway I need them.. And wheel to wheel distance increase 40 mm's ..

upto now about 5-6 months I have used omega in several speeds , long journeys .. not seen any negative issues..
