What kind of wheels are they ?

They look very smart
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

18" Irmscher Sport-Star Black Attacks. Had trouble getting them too, as the first batch I got had 2 rims with a paint defect, and they could only replace 1 as they had no more in stock, and they said they're not making them any more either...

But aye, next up is sorting the brakes and also fitting powerflex bushes all round... Then back on to the engine, as you soon get bored with 320bhp :jezza:

Anything over 330 Bhp to the wheels(rear wheels anyway) involves a lot of rear end bushes :-(. Not a nice jobImageImageImage

I agree, that's why bushes and 6pot setup up front are next are next on the shopping list. Going for AP kit, as hearing stories of sticky callipers on ksports and a few other "cheaper" alternatives.
