    Fronts are a ET48 with 18mm spacer 7.5 inch wide, rears were a 48 offset with a 6 inch barrel and 3 inch lip and a 215.

    Pics dont do it justice, even the guys who did them couldnt believe how good the look.
    Big thanks to Advance tyres in Richmond who fitted the tyres when no one else would, they loved the wheels so much they fitted it for free.

    No side on pics yet, rears look really agressive but fronts dont, think it needs to be lower in the front and some camber to get it looking good.

    LM's are hard to find in a 5X100. You will be paying close to $2000, and most are not perfect. My ones only look good because the rears are so wide, if I just had 7.5 all around it would look very, well normal lol

    They cost me over 3K all up

    To get perfect setup you also need camber front and rear, coilovers to get the right height, spacers etc

    Looks awesome, I hope the rubbing is minimal and it does not bother you.

    Sorry mate, just read it again, you're running 9's in the rear and 7.5's up front?

    I'm not a fan of black wheels in general, but it works well on your car, just have to keep them shiny.

    I love white wheels, but don't have the patience or enthusiasm to keep them clean.

    I rekon you keep an eye out on here, ozaudi, ebay, etc and do something original. I'm on my 3rd set of rims, none of them were really expensive, but all were cool to me. There are a lot of options and the good ones often don't come cheap.

    Yeah 7.5 front 9 rear

    I am not a fan of all black wheels, but I knew with a 3inch polished lip it would break it up, when the bonnet is open the polished parts match the polished lips. I was thinking about getting a polished half cage, just to top it all off.

    Maybe try to find even more polished parts lol

    I think the gloss black that vwthunder went with would look much better than gold with a white car (but then I think the gold would have looked terrific with his black car )
