Default I got a 3rd set of wheels and tires haha.

So I actually ordered these back in September but it took months to get them from the UK after they were made. They are team dynamics pro race 1.2s, 18x9 with +35 offset and 255/35/18s front and rear. With all the fender work I did to fit the 19x9.5s with 245/35/19s these fit my car perfectly and don't rub but I wouldn't suggest these sizes to anyone unless you understand how to roll fenders and it takes a lot of rolling... trust me. Anyway on to picks.

Whoa those look nice with the green. It looks like a race car. One thing about a white car, dark wheels don't look as good on them as a dark car.

Thanks guys. I am going to lower it a bit more I think. And white car needs white wheels.

Quite impressive. And with that wide width even though they are 35s looks like a decent amount of sidewall, so I am guessing it rides well too. Nicely done.

If you don't mind me asking, what did the wheels and tires end up costing you?

I can't really comment on ride quality, the kw coilovers stiffened it up a bit and I've been running lower profile tires on my car for a while, they aren't bad though, quiet tire too. Bridgestone s04s, they were about 700, the wheels were about 1400 then mounting and balancing, and new lugs. Considering they made the wheels to order basically the price is right. They feel lighter than the other 2 sets I have too so the car feels a bit peppier. I really need to get going on my suspension now.

Yeah I think so too. They were well worth it, they have been using the pro race 1.2s on BTCC and WTCC for years now too so they are high quality wheels for a decent price.

Haha, I thought about selling them but I still really like them so I'm keeping them. I don't plan on running the pro race 1.2s all the time anyway so i'll be switching between my 3 sets to make the tires last longer. I have a feeling i'll be like expat with like 6 different sets of wheels before long haha
