Hey Dan - I spoke to a guy with Monza R's and he said ET45 is the best for the front, but he put ET35's on the back. I am going to go with ET45 all round I think mate. Unfortunately they have not got back to me yet :(
you could go with the 45 s all round then fit spacers mate i got 10 mm ones on the back of my edition 30 and imo are just right

These arrive tomorrow with luck. I have an OEM wheel ready to weigh back to back with the Pro Race wheel.

Just need to figure out what tyres now, and in what dimensions. One part of me fancies getting track tyres, but the sensible half knows to get something with a rim protector. One part says 235 and the other 225. Decisions decisions!

Ok so the wheels came today. For those who might be interested, the OEM wheel weighs 26.5lbs and the 1.2 weighs 20.5lbs.

A saving of 6lbs per corner. Now to see about some lighter brake discs :)
