Haven't bought any yet, I've got a few other things I want to do to the car first. I was going to probably get a set of 17x7.5" with ET28 for the fronts and ET22 for the rears. These should end up about 13mm further out at the front and 19mm further on the rear, which will hopefully fill the arches a bit better. The only thing I want to make sure of, is that they won't rub on the arches as I don't want to have to trim them.

Thanks again.

Yeah I am the same, do not want to trim the arches.

I was looking at running 17x7.5 on the front and 17x8.5 on the rear. It is just trying to get the offset right. Might start a thread and see what other guys are running on their 3DR's.

Cheers

Haven't done a lot to the car lately except an oil change and sending it off to the detailers for a couple of days to do some paint correction. Now that the paint's been detailed, I hope to get some decent photos done at some stage. Untill then here's one from our last trip to Lakeside a couple of weeks ago:
 
 

 
I did get a sensor kit and a couple of oil filters from Matt Lewis Motorsport in the UK.
 

 
First thing was to change to water temp guage sender as my guage has been reading a bit low. Undid a few hoses to get to it:
 

 
Here's the old one:
 

 
And with the new one fitted up:
 

 
First test to see if it reads any better will be at Lakeside tomorrow when I take it for a few laps.

I saw your car at Lakeside the other weekend, it looks amazing in person! Still looks as though it's just left the factory.
