So yesterday it was finally time to switch to my new summerwheels! Also decided to freshen up the calipers while i was at it!
Really happy with the result!

Here are some pics and please tell me what you think!








 
What the hell has been nibbling at your rear disks?

Yes they are 19" with 225/35/19 tyres! I say go for it!
 
Liking the wheels and black calipers look a lot cleaner! These genuine 19" alloys?

Thank you! No theese are replicas unfortunatly. But they look really good and they feel very close to genuine!
 
Ah they do look good for replicas! Where did you get them from if you don't mind me asking
 
It was hard getting a good photo to illustrate how they sit. But heres a few anyway. The ET is 45




 
Brilliant, thanks for doing this. Looks like it's right on the limit of not sticking out beyond the wheel arch. Are you happy with the fitment or would you prefer the fronts to be a bit further into the wheel arch?
 
No problem, im happy to help! I am really pleased with the fitment. I think it looks really good! And theres no risk of rubbing the tyres either. I did safe a little by choosing 225 tyres, but if i would have known there would be this much space left between the wheel and the arch, i would have choosen 235 instead.
