Well, I decided that running semi slicks on the road wasn't working, especially in these current temps. It was great fun but meant that you couldn't go for a good early morning run. So anyway i decided it was time to retire the 224s and semi slicks from the road and use purely for trackdays and buy a new set of wheels and tyres. After a deal falling through for a set of Apex Arc-8s I decided to go for the old, massively overdone CSL route. I wasn't wanting to go for 19" so had to go with reps. I got them from BM Autosport. 18x8.5xET35 up front and 18x9.5xET20 at the rear. I went with Goodyear Eagle F1 ASYM 2's, as I didn't want to have huge sidewalls like I would have got with MPSS. 265/35/18 and 235/40/18.
I'm pretty chuffed with the result. The offsets are pretty much bang on perfect for the flush look and its nice to have the fresh look with silver alloys again. The wheels themselves are pretty good. Feel lighter than 224s and have a lovely deep concave on the rear.
