Have to agree with N11LS_J here and look forward to your input Jules. Too much OEM around these parts for my liking! :D

Very nice cars man, stunning! I've seen them on ED38 and know Ian Chan from back in the day. The boys got mad skills behind the lens.

I've looked in to the Sportlines and the CH's for mine, getting some wide enough in the right offset is the issue though. They are all quite low ET so to make theem work you'd need some decent width spacers.

The sportlines were just a stop gap,great looking classic wheel just quite popular.
The ch's on the RS are 19 x 9.5 all round,you cant really tell but them have a curved face as they are the bmw fitment ones,so with
using hub adapters it allows you to bring them out more.
They are only et15 on the rears,but just camber in when dropped right down.
This pic shows the curve better :thumbs:
