Where, may I ask, did you purchase such wonderful rims? Maybe they have the grids aswell.

Thanks for the heads up and links. Seems visionr only have 18" x 9.5. Might have to go Rota direct to get the 8.5's. Although offset of +44.....seems large. Was wanting the filled arches and stretched tyre look.

Although all these pics with white rota grid 18x9.5 is very tempting. But probably not for a daily..

The Gravel on mine are +44 to give you an idea if how it might look. The car is on stock suspension.

I take it if you're copying that set up you're not planning on driving anywhere with any sort of slope.

Not exactly. My car isn't that low. About 2 inches higher. But I think I'll end up with 8.5 to save headaches.just love the filled guards look but pretty impracticable I would think
