They Look Fantastic mate! Well Worth the wait. I know now why you had to go abroad to get them made. I'm thinking of getting custom made superlites cause the performance 8" offset ain't enough.
Well Done!

Noice!
What are the offsets?
What size tyres you plan to fit?
Will they fit under guards?

cheers guys, yer well worth the effort and wait i reckon am really happy how can you go wrong with rims made to you specs. Although was hoping for a little bit more dish at the rear but in saying that to much can sometimes look a little horrible still happy though.
front bsckspacing: 4 1/2 inch front tyres 205/50/15
rear backspacing: 3 1/2 inch tyres wanting to fit 235/50/15
fronts will be pushing it but should get them under there
and the rears will be getting the diff to suit

With the 235/50 your rear overall diameter will be 30mm larger than fronts. Better to fit 235/45's, only about 7mm difference.
Might be hard to find tyres for either of those sizes. Dunno.

235 x 50 should fit snug in the rear with an offset that perfectly centres your rear rim. I have ugly spare rims with a big positive offset and my 205 tyres have 1 inch either side clearance. 25P offset on my superlites fits perfect under the front guards (205 x 50s), mind you my lips are rolled too. Tyre wise Toyo R888 would be a great choice on your rims.
my 2c
Cheers

yer i measured the smallest part of the wheel well and i should be able to fit a 235 on the rear under there. Well i know ill probably struggle for traction so i thought ill go a bigger tyre on the rear for traction but not to big that it will just grip and push me through a corner and for fronts i dont want massive side wall flex but dont want it stretch so i dont have any side wall flex so thought a 205 on 7inch rim should be happy medium. well thats my theroy behind it all anyways cause be used for a road/track car.
i know trying to find 235x50x15 in a semi slick isnt that easy but it will either be a 235 or 225.
Thanks Paul yer undecide what brand to run as hear many opinoins about all brands of slicks but heard the r888's are decent

Not to much of an update, but have just gone on a bit of a spending spree for when it does down to the fabricator in a few months time. - Ap 4 pistons fronts - Ap 2 piston rears - Tilton bias adjuster - 2 piece front rotors, falcon rears - Gaz coil overs, and Gaz rear socks - 2.4 Quick rack - Green tire rod ends   I also have sent away some interior parts to get carbon fibered, will post up pictures when i get them back. Thanks

[well my car has been down at Extrem Custom Engineering for 2weeks now to get the last of the major stuff done to it, so far his fitted and shorten hilux diff down, re-splin axels, fit rear brakes, stone guard underneath, custom strut tops, and dumby fitted the front end for know, Also got a few things powdercoated black. So far its coming up good and looking nice and new with all new bushes, nuts and bolts through out. Still has a fair few things left to do so should have completed pictures within 2-3weeks on wheels.
