Hey guys,
So I received my new wheels from the USA today, Raderwerks 1-eleven S in 18x8.5 ET45.
Now I don't know what the go is (as my car's meant to have the same running gear as a GTI and the wheels are meant to sit flush), but these rims in this size with this offset protrude from the front guards by about 10mm (haven't tried it on the rear yet).
I love the look of a little stretch and poke but it's really not the avenue I was going with my car, I was intending on having a good balance between performance and sex appeal.
I have the dilemma now as to whether I should sell them and get a set of rims that fit the way I want, or to keep them and have good stance. I would like to know of any limitations I could encounter by having these wheels with the poke/stretch when it came to the performance side of things. I won't be tracking my car but I don't refuse a sedate mountain run every now and then Bear in mind I have ordered a set of coils and will be dropping the car as low as practically possible (but still keeping above the 100mm legal limit).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks
