Manhart Concave 1’s..... but I’m having second thoughts about them, think they might be too far removed from O.E for my taste :?

Tottaly agree. :P

What reps are these? What size tyres are fitted? Do you get any rubbing and is it lowered? That looks bang on perfect and mine is the same colour as yours.

Riva DTMs. 9.5j rear 255 tyres. Front 8J and 215 tyres. Had rubbing on the front with 225 tyres so some advice from the good peeps on here and I swapped them out to 215. Fronts fit better I believe with 8.5j and 225 tyres. Only found that out after I had bought them.

Loads more better experts on wheels and tyre sizes on here than me.

And yeah, it's lowered with Eibachs. :)

I don't know what brand they are, but they are exactly the same sizes and offsets of genuine CSLs. So 8.5Jx19 ET44 fronts and 9.5Jx19 ET19 rears. Tyres are MPSS 235/35 front and 265/30 rear.

It's got H & R coil-overs and was definitely rubbing when I bought it, as well as grounding on speed-bumps! :roll:

But since I got them wound up as high as they would go I haven't had any rubbing so far. According to the H & R website that means my car is currently 23mm lower on the front and 19mm lower at the rear than standard.
Coupes because stunning!

My car came with H & R coil-overs and was rubbing plenty when I got it, not to mention grounding over speed-bumps! :o

But once I got them wound up as high as they would go I haven't had any rubbing so far, which means according to the H & R website it's 23mm lower at the front and 19mm lower at the rear than standard.

The photo I posted is with the coil-overs at max height, this is how it looked when I first got it complete with rubbing!

Any more pics of these post them up :) been eyeing up a set for my coupe 8)
Fronts sit well with 8j et36 but rears look like ideally they need a 12-15mm spacer with 8.5 et47 :?

I’ve got a 12MM spacer I’m about to try on the rear. I’ll get some more pics up once they’re on :thumbsup:
