Default Headache With Wheels

Has anyone (UK) actually fitted a set of 18inch Wheels to their S.

I want to fit a set to my 04 car but its proving to be more of a problem than I thought. The wheels I like will not fit and the wheels available I do not really like.

I do know that EVO 5's will fitt. I also have looked at tirerack.com but again I would rather get them from the UK.

If you have a set fitted make and model would be most appreciated

There are a LOT of people with 18's There are also a LOT of threads about it if you take a little time to search.

Fletch has Volks
Christ Type R Superleggras

Suggest you search using the adv search - specify UK Forum only and use aftermarket Wheels ( Or alloys) as your search term.

Or read the Tire & Wheel forum - although mostly american, you'll get the right settings for offest etc, so you can then shop around in the uk
