Got my rims today, thanks to Prospeed Racing.

They are bronze Rota Grid 18x9.5 +38. The colour is really weird, they look grey/gunmetal (at first i thought i was sent the wrong colour) until you shine some light on them, then they look more bronze. Looks really cool imo.

Just need to sort out rubber now, then ill chuck them on the car, if it looks too overlander spec ill take them off again until I am ready to lower the car.

Looks good! I was considering bronze myself, but I reckon it looks a bit better against darker paintwork like yours.

Hmmmm I think these pics may have convinced me to wait for suspension....

They look like wheel porn. Get some autoglym wheel sealer on the them for ftw.

Can you weigh on of these wheels please?

Gap isn't too bad, a lowering of 15mm, possibly 20mm would look nice!

I remember your 32, it was sweet!

Nice hatch.

^Hey, yep I remember you from silwa days.

Dave, I shall definitely grab some of that stuff. I just did a quick weigh on my dodgy cheap bathroom scales and its around 9kg give or take. Not sure how accurate that is, the rim was way too big for the scales

For the price of these things you cant expect anything too lightweight.

Today made me realise just how boaty the stock suspension is. Gunning it onto Tonkin I could feel the rear end bouncing around, quite unnerving!

Need to do something about that.
