Looks spectacular. Be interested to know if you had to fit new wheel bolts for 10mm and if there are any issues at all to be wary of (hub damage, vibration etc). Take care parking, those lovely alloys are closer to the kerb now! As a quick aside, did the grill have to come off to fit the black rings?
Yes longer bolts and Black lockings nuts
Hub centric so no issues with vibration
As for the rings you can fit them in situ

It's worth doing, but don't go really low, just the 15-20 mm and your be fine, you getting QST to fit?

I don't want it silly low and then ruin the ride, Your's look spot on tbh.

Yeah, a mate had a load of work done on an old S3 and an S4 years ago and he reckons they were pretty good.

So, the S/C'd 5, worth £13k...?!

Out of the box a Nissan GTR. Modded... loads. But none of them would be as elegant or in 'that' colour. :thumbs:
