I vote Ultralite TB's, (or Rota RB) but then I'm biased... 15x8 ET0 with 195 45 15 Maxxis MAZ3's   |

Some guy near me has the JR11 - they look pretty badass on the 5.

JR7 in Gold with polished lip are the ones I think. Will do a buy next month.

They will all look awesome on a cracking looking car. I love the minilite style myself but it'll look great either way. White would definitely be my choice if I had one  |

They will all look awesome on a cracking looking car. I love the minilite style myself but it'll look great either way. White would definitely be my choice if I had one I do love the minilite style, but at the moment my wheels are both heavy and rubbing. Before, they were only heavy and I could put up with that because they're Compomotives and very strong, now they're also rubbing and I don't want to roll the arches so they need to go. So new wheels it is, to keep the Minilite style I could get the Rota RBs, but they are quite expensive for replica wheels, regardless of their quality. For not much more, I could get the Work Emotions which I would buy purely because they're Works regardless of if I think the RBs look better! £160 vs £130. The RBs are also ET20 and given that the ideal setup seems to be ET35 for stock arches, then they're not the right offset either. I really like the Enkei RPF1s and if I had the money I'd buy real ones, so replicas it is! I can face reps as long as they're not fake splits. I had fake splits on the grey car and it was shameful. |

Also, contrary to what I wrote previously, the LED headlights are E marked and DOT approved so they will pass an MOT as a light unit but they technically need a self levelling system and washers to pass as a headlight system.

Your wheel dilemma makes Brexit look simple!
Now you put it that way though I'd be inclined to agree. Why waste a cracking engine with the wrong spec wheels.

I vote Ultralite TB's, (or Rota RB) but then I'm biased... 15x8 ET0 with 195 45 15 Maxxis MAZ3's Those look really good, and previously I was not averse to low offset wheels and was happy to pull those arches as much as possible, to the point of having to use filler on the Canoeed arch on the grey car, but this car is so mint that I don't want to mess with the arches. This isn't a slur on your car when I say I love that home-made "make prarrie canoe fit" vibe, the grey car was 100% that, but I feel like I need to do this mint shell justice! LOL. |

They actually fit with minimal work, a roll on the arches would see them fitting fine. The only reason I have rear overfenders is because the arches were crusty and it was easier to cut them out as the car was/is far from mint anyways!

My posts above were pointless, I couldn't bring myself to buy JR wheels. I know.
So next Monday I am picking up Compomotive THs with AD08R tyres in dark grey colour.
So my MLs with DMack tyres are for sale if anyone wants. 15x8 ET12, all 4 wheels have kerbing but they paint is so thick it's just different shades of gold underneath. 2 barely used DMacks (£90 each), one OK DMack, and one pretty much bald. £300. I've priced that as £200 for the wheels and £50 each for the 2 good tyres, 2 prarrie canoe tyres free.

JR5 for me. I was after some before I picked up my Rotas. I had JR wheels on my old turbo car and they were fine. No difference in quality (to the eye) than any other of the Chinese/Taiwanese brands.

Drove to Ringwood and back last night, after work. That was quite a mission. Got back just after midnight and went straight to bed, but new wheels are in the boot of the wagon, and old wheels are sans tyres and with their new owner. I'll leave him to reveal himself in due course.
