I managed to get 4 Goodyear F1 Assym 2 275/35/20 for £420! They had covered less than 1000 miles, the guy even drove from Yorkshire to deliver, lovely chap he was too. Due to this bargain I decided to get some bigger wheels to accommodate these beauties. See pics below:

The ride quality is really good. Bit concerned about the height so I will get the springs adjusted tomorrow just before AITP.

That looks great on them wheels, as you have said, I think slightly raise the ride height and it will look perfect.

BARGAIN!!!! Good work Nick. Car looks good, would look way better if the tints weren't so dark in the rear. Look forward to seeing the car at ADI if you're going again.

Thanks! Maybe I should tint the front slightly to remove the huge contrast.

I will be at AITP and ADI.

The Dogs Boll**ks comes to mind your right the front windows need tinting so it blends better rather than a sudden blackout ,it was a good idea to get the 20 inch wheels to go with the new tyres they would of slopped around a bit on 19 inch rims.

Looks superb!!
Great improvement.
All you need now is RS 5 front and rear bumpers.

Are these Revolution replica's?

And RS5 grill!

Then remap, bigger brakes etc.

Yes, this is the Revolution set. They look better in the flesh than the pics that Little Glen posted. I was delighted when I opened the box.

I only went for these due to the cheap tyres I got.

These Goodyears aren't half bad. Comfortable and quiet compared to my last three sets of conti's.

Wheels look epic. Looking forward to getting rid of my conti sport 3s and getting the f1s.

I had the suspension lifted 5mm on the back and 10mm on the front:
