They look quite cool from the side (a bit of mk2 golf gti about them) but the front looks

Certainly something I'd consider, but you'd need to widen the track to fill those arches. With an ED30 splitter I think they would be killer.

They're 10mm too wide IMO and if they also had matching sideskirts could look decent if all colour coded

75 mm more track per side?
The pictures are with 30 mm spacers an ET 25 wheels! The idea is great but that is too much...

Agree with this, ultimate mod for wide track racer, but you'd look a bit of an idiot cruising around London at 20mph with these fitted. Not that that would stop me, given the freedom with funds...

It got the email the other day of this. They are growing on me, ideal for an 'allroad' style with air suspension
