    I've got a feeling they are going to be super weak width - I wouldn't personally even think about a wheel with anything less than 8" width, for many other people this would still not be enough

    Arospeed - RS-GT-Black

    I love these wheels, a set come up second hand a little while ago for a good price. IIRC they were only 7" or 7.5" so I let them go...I want at least 8" as well.

    Have you looked at www.rarerims.co.uk - Model Boost and Torque - 17x8" correct offset and a good price with tyres - Bren does them as well.

    doubt they'll be wide enough TBH - nice looking rims though.

    205 means probably a 6.5" rim thats the same as std

    As you say 205 you must be going for the 17" with 205/40/17 - thats way too small a rolling radius, on a 17 you'd need a 225/45 (with would be too wide for the rim) or a 205/50/17 which they aren't offering.

    Chuck them back and go to rarerims or SRB/Apex etc get some proper rims

    Reason i was looking on there was because they do 0% for 6 months! and i would pay it off in them 6 months!

    Or does anyone know where i can get a credit card with 6 months or more 0% interest? I got hit up the ass the other week so i have had a bodykit put on and i think its going to look silly with the standard rims!

    MINT do 0% on purchases and balance transfers till Sept 06, EGG usually have an introductory offer too.

    Its no longer possible to jump from card to card without paying itnerest though, most do a standard fee on balance transfers, still saves paying interest though, it just costs you once a year or so to switch your balance.

    just spoke to my old man about credit card and he said dont get one and he said he will give me the casg tonight! So i have been on rare rims and am going for 17x8 rota force 10 spokes in white! 114.3 pcd et 35! I take it these dont come with tyres so i think i might go to mytyres.com unless anyone knows a decent place in essex for tyres?

    Also what would be the best size tyre for this rim?
