What is it about these turini's, I don't think they are a nice looking wheel on our cars  :confused: or, is it like the 1.2's and more about the weight/performance benefit, people seem to go mad about them...  :happy2:

each to their own, but I think they look the biz on a silver ed30 but still manage to keep an oem look  :happy2:

and save a few kgs per corner over pesc's or detroits



so get yourself some lightweight rims and remove that bonnet bra  :sick: and you might get into the 13s  :wink:

I'm in the 13's... 0.2 behind you on the day iirc with my measly bf stage 2, maybe equal without the bonnet bra (although required for 300 mile round trip)  :P

They look ok on your car, i'm just not a fan, then again I change my mind everyday...

My Speedlines are 18x8 ET42 with a 225/40/18 tyre.

Car is lowered with no dramas. You'll be fine.
Not necessarily!!

I have 8x18" ET42's on mine with with 225/40/18 tyres and they rub on the front arch screw over big bumps. May be down to the tyre shape as much as the wheel size/offset.

Good point, I've done the screw remove and tuck the liner mod. No drama since.
