Wheels purchased today, went for caliber vintage instead of cheapo rs reps as these are a bit better quality and build.




18" 8j all round
Decided not to go staggered as still want big lows and a 9.5 rear wouldnt allow this.
Im happy

Well 2 days late they finally arrived.
Very pleased.  :smiley:
2quick coats of pb wheel sealant then tucked away for winter.




And yes i realise there reps but have a 10 month old daughter a house and a caddy project
So £500 instead or £2500 seemed a pretty good deal.
Also the caliber caps will be staying i will not be pretending there bbs lol  :grin:
