Cheers guys. Now all I have to do is a mega save. They are super wheels if a tad costly!

Was wondering do they have those offsets on 16inch wheels? Would be nice and light!

No IIRC 16" CE28Ns do not come in a 9" wide rear and are in different offsets. You would have to do a search to find out what they are.

The only 16" wheels in the correct offsets are the JDM BBS ones - IIRC, they're 6.5 & 7.5 or 8.0 or something.

SOS now have some 17" Enkeis in the correct offsets too - massive choice.

BTW, these will all fit because they are the correct offset wrt. the steering axis and not to some abitrary twatty wheelarch line, so they won't ruin the handling but may actually improve it.

Lovely wheels!! Thanks for te info guys!

+ loved them on my old car and Ninebolts seems to like them now he has them
Much better grip and more predictable with the lower unsprung weight IMHO

I'd imagine they compliment the snail a lot, with the extra width at the rear.

The Mugen GPs have an extra 1/2" width at the front. The slightly euro-look does give superb turn-in and helps twang the rear out when one sees fit.

Despite them weighing more than the BBSs, the rear damping 'bounce' hasn't returned. That must've been a combination of the heavy OEM 16"s and the S-02s, since the chassis brace alone didn't entirely cure it.

They're very good although I now run them with OEM sized tyres as that's what's available in Goodyear Asym2.
