End result of around 6 months research, pondering, mocking-up.
Big thanks to Wheelbase for being patient, Bola for machining some fresh wheels and getting them out the same day to correct an error.

Bola FLE 18x8 ET35
PS4 235/40/R18

The car is black underneath the wrap, hence the colour choice. Black wheels go better with the green, but gunmetal-type colours work with everything as a middle ground.

Most importantly, the car is much nicer to daily around our terrible Manchester roads with a bit of extra squish.

Good find getting 18" that fit over the brakes and anything that does not hit the face of the brake (you can fit drag radials now :playful:)

I am glad I went for a higher sidewall on mine (although I stayed on the OEM 19" wheels) not regretted it at all. Do you have mag-ride?

Nope, no mag-ride.

TBH there was quite a range with good clearances. Was spoilt for choice.
There's enough room for balance weights too.

Bola were great, even though they recommended the wrong offset first time round, they next-day'd a new set with adjusted offset to clear the caliper face.
