Have you considered different width front and back for steering purposes? The 10" wide rims would be premium for putting some KW on the floor.

yeah 4 sure 10 wont fit on the front any way 9 is optimum for the front. I like the dark agents but they only come in 8 inch wide all round decisions decisions they look good what do you reckon of the pic below?? There the 19's though

Looks hot. 20's would look even better IMO but you'll probably loose a bit of performance??

It has a few real wheel hp. It will not matter much on the street. At the track is a different story though

I finally bit the bullet and got some 20"s. I also fitted the force 6 crome fog light bezels. Just waiting on tnt to find my other two wheels. Now I will be able to have some spare rims for some nitto's.

Yeah don't use Ipec road there worse. I sent some parts to a good customer of mine they went missing for 4 weeks another customer of mine found the box wrapped up with there goods ( Ipec had put it in the wrong pile and loaded it onto a split pallet then wrapped it up). I had the Ipec rep out Friday blasting him. At least tnt rang to tell me what's going on. There all as bad as each other really
