Well, I whacked em on last night and they don't rub at all, sure my polo is higher than it should be. Still looking to get 195/40's and definately going to lower it. It looks like i could get away with lowering it anyway?

Comments pls, soz about some bad quality ones my digital camera is s**t

600 big ones, the old ones i'm refurbing and selling on, soz for the confusion on yours mate, they are lovely wheels just got impatient

Are you trying to get hold of a set so you can sell it? will it really go for more with the standards?

I'm still in 2 minds weither to sell it. To be honist I think I will be keeping it till September when my insurance is due and the loan is paid off on it. Let me have first dibs on the referbed wheels!

they're cool

They're very cool, and look to be in good condition

They'll look nicer with some 195/40/16 tyres and some BBS centre caps though

They're very nice mate!

I'm looking a refurbing my wheels at the moment. Do you know if it's easy enough to do yourself or is it better to get them done by a refurb company?

Ollie - Defo sorting out some nice low profiles for when I lower the little guy, will look a hell of a lot better

Eggshell - It generally costs around 60-80 quid a wheel and you pay for how good it will be, some rims are easier to refurb than others, the RXII's are fairly difficult as they are split rim etc.. pop over to the DIY section where someone did it..I'm going to pay personally

oh and as for the center caps...i'm going for the standard look, got a long list of things to do but want to keep it a subtle as possible
