Nice! 18 or 19's?
They'll sit nicely on your car!

19 x 8.5 +44/42 i think they are. They will require guard rolling.... When the coil overs go in.!!!

Mmmhh

Sweet, can't wait to see those on!
I'll have to do some inspecting today, but last night i believe the tyres where hitting the guards. (around sharp corners) hitting bumps.
The wheels are sitting flush with the outside of the guards at the moment, and i guess with a wagon already on bilsteins, they sit pretty low at the rear.

I'll chuck up some photos later

Well I love the wheels!
I haven't seen a Lib on Takumas that hasn't looked good IMO. It's nice to see some RST's, looking forward to some more pics!

I think you've made a great choice, and replicas or not aside, they are still a forged (I think?) Japanese rim.

They'd look great if they were matte black with huge tyres on a fwd

Update: guards are rubbing (slightly) with the 18 x 8 +44 with 235/40 tyres. If it was on 225 tyres it would still be extremely close.
Looks like i'll be getting the rear guards rolled this week. Needed to do it anyway before i lower it!
The offset of the new wheels is sooooooo tough.

Extenuating circumstances saw me out of character on that evening...... apology was warranted.

And now he's admitted he's in love with the Takuma's and is unsure which set he should get for himself.

Yep. If you know Mark at all, this is the funniest example of agreeing to disagree ever.

Youve definitely got an eye for good photos.
