New Kei Racing Force 10 wheels Fitted

I'e just fitted some New 18" Kei Racing Force 10 alloys in silver, i've wrapper them in some 215/35 R18 Yokahoma Parada Spec 2 rubber..

i was not going to put them on the car until i'd cleaned and polished it, but i made the mistake of putting one on Friday afternoon to see what they looked like and....well the rest is history..it's been raining all day and i was not going to take any pictures until i'd cleaned it......but i got carried away again..

See what you think..does it need Eibach'in?

Looking good

Personally I wouldn't bother with the Eibachs, I had nothing but trouble with mine

they look great Billy. Don't know if you're finding this too, but when you see the car in the flesh, and especially when it's moving, you don't notice the arch gap much, it just seems to be accentuated in photos.

I was thinking about the JCW suspension just before I put my JCW wheels on, but I'm not at all sure it needs lowered that badly tbh...

Hmmm, i am completely torn, do i don't i....i park on a very slight slope, when i park it backwards it does, when i park it forwards it does not....

At the moment it has a equal gap around the wheel and it looks ok..when i see it driven, i cannot see for the bright light.. , no as you say it looks ok.

If i do lower it can only be by 20mm otherwise i'm sure it will catch, which means Minisports own brand..is it worth it?

Eer you niked my son.......
