Hehe - I left the windows down most of Friday to get that 'new rubber' smell out. They do protrude a few mm from the guards, and I think there's a slight rub on the rears when you hit bumps at speed, but a -ve camber adjustment should fix that.

As far as lowering goes - yeah, the front could come down a smidge, but I don't want to lose any drivability with driveways, speedhumps etc. Will talk to Jeff when he does the camber/alignment - see what we can do :laugh:

Very happy with them though - the whole red/grey theme really works well. There's a guy in Sydney with silver 19" RS's on his blue Evo - looks good, but I think they are a bit too big. 18"s are perfect IMO. Clicky here for his car: http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?t=254987

We have a Murcielago for top end, and an Ariel Atom for bullshit acceleration. All cars (bar the RS4 Avant) will be in town soon, so I'll let you know the full fleet.

Newest one is a white 997 GT3, with a 575 Maranello looking like being on the books too. Should all pool up and get an SAU annual membership :(

But, back on topic...

I think the 18"s are big enough and am super happy with them. Some red (well... pink) locknuts going on today and the Golgo plates will return soon to complete the package. Only other thing I'm keen to add are the Damd carbon side/rear skirts.

Pure sex James!! Top job mate.

Red and grey/charcoal combo FTW!!!!

You made the right choice with the 18's. 19's may fill out the guards better, but you sacrifice handling, response and rwkw. I know from experience :huh: . For the past year I have been contemplating whether I should go 18's and sell the 19's :( .
