I love the wheels (I can see what you're saying about the spacers, still sat inboard)... but 225s over 9.5"?!?!?

JM, look good but aren't you concerned about running such under-spec rubber?

I still have all those wheels and swap them depending on my mood
Standard
Sportec Mono 10's
B7 RS4
3SDM 0.05's
Only one's I flogged were the MTM's which looked great but I hated how they made the car feel/handle
MTM Bimota

Lighter than the Sportec's!!
The Sportec's are same (maybe a little heavier) than the OEM 18's
