Stunning wheels there JT. :happy2:
A word of caution though, they are the exactly same size as my in coming wheels, so i was asking a lot of questions about them.
Effectively they stick out 18 mil further than a monza II. Which means they still fit ok but you have got to start being careful about the drop. Your biggest problem with these wheels is that they are very heavy which will really restrict the distance you can drop it unless you fit really stiff springs, my advice would be coilovers for these wheels as i think you may have problems setting them up. I would not want to buy just springs and then find they have to come back off. :happy2:

Cheers guys :happy2: can't wait to get them on now.
@TC Gonna have a chat with andy at psi and see what he thinks about springs or coillies really hoping i can get away with springs otherwise it's gonna be a few months before i can afford coilies.

Its just down to the extra weight what you think would be a ok drop turns out to much. :smiley:
Tony Danza was very good to me at Udubs and explained it to me in simpleton terms as requested. :signIWS:
Basically if you put a ball on a piece of elastic and bounce it like a yo yo then do the same with a heavier ball, the heavier ball will travel back up further. :chicken:
