Going price really, 18x9 not a staggered fitment either. Have a look at rimstyle.com select your car etc and they'll show the wheels that fit.

9 not wide enough? Not sure I desperately want a staggered set to be honest. Does it make a huge difference?
I've got a square set of MV2s on at the moment and I don't really notice much difference from the staggered set I had on previously

Fine for rear but you'll be pushing it at the front

I have these, they were all silver though. They look really good but the laquer on the polished lip doesn't take stones chips well at all. Water and air get under the laquer and gives a 'worm' like effect. I have just had mine refurbed and had the the polished rim powder coated to hopefully make it a bit more robust. It's great looking wheel though.greg81 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2018 10:12 pmVERY tempted by these. Seems a very good price...

Here they are all silver
and shadow chromed (still not convinced on them tbh):

The shadow chrome looks great!
Is there anything to can do to protect the lacquer or prevent the water ingress after a chip?
How long did you have them before you felt the need to refurb?
Thanks!

They were on the car when I bought it so unfortunately I dont know. I spoke to a few places and they all said it happens to polished rims (especially in Scotland!) and they all recommended powder coating them. I could have had them cut and relaquered but the cost of the refurb then goes up.

No solid agreements on a set of anything yet so still keeping my eyes open. That said, with this weather I'm happy keeping my winters on for a bit longer

Only took me 3 months but I bought a set of these bad boys tonight...
Very pleased!
