    i know id iwould ideally like 17s in 9 or 9.5j flavour but money is not my friend right now!! and i figure if i get some different wheels in the future, then i can keep these as skid rims. Or sell them, either or! Damn not having enough money!

    Lol, was joking mate, 8J is fine, anything is better than standard, people even recommend R32 gtr wheels, which are only 7.5J I think? Anything is better than standard and will improve the handling (don't neglect tyres!) as well as filling those massive arch gaps!

    I was going to say the same thing!
    I thought maybe that much for A PAIR, but the whole lot? And where did you get 4 17 inch lo-pro tyres for under £200? Did this all happen in 1983?

    it was only in october dude.. they are just a set of directional tyres.. but are actually pretty good.. they are called enduro 916's, and are 235/45/17 all round for a bit of stretch on the wall (and easy swapping when they get low)
