Thanks, I shall give them a call tomorrow. Did you get them to install these or did your garage turn into a temporary workshop overnight? :p

oohh that's not too bad, I got a quote from WA suspensions for 900 dollars fitted =/. Now I'm trying to justify whether I should pay that extra 300 dollars for installation.

Yeah I had the same wheels as you in 18s and loved them - had the matt black option been available back then I may very well have opted for them (as I prefer the centre design of the LM over the flatter face of the standard Superturismo which has had a matt black for ages). Having said that the graphite finish looks amazing and is the pick of the bunch in hindsight.

I can let Avdo chip in when he reads this, but you're spirit level/ruler method is basically spot on - there is about 5mm poke. See Avdo's post on his Rays with the same specs here: The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread . If it isn't a legality issue in the UK then yes, it comes down to looks - will certainly look better if tucked in more with camber/guard work but should be fairly workable to come up with a solution.

I've bit the bullet and ordered some oz leggera's 19"x8" et45 which may take a few weeks to arrive as they only had 19"x8.5" et47 in stock at oz Italy,just hope the 4mm difference in poke is worth the wait lol.I managed to get some Goodyear f1 asymmetric 2 235/35 91y rubber for them at a good price which although IMO are not quite so grippy as my favourite vredestein ultrac vorti but have a very big rim protector on them.i will post some pics when fitted.

Still think I'd like to sit in one and feel it first.
