Ordered them yesterday and got them fitted today! It was a very tight fit though, there's only a 0.5 cm space in between the caliper and the rim! Any closer and it wouldn't have fit!

They're 18" Ace Spiders with 225/40/18 Uniroyal Rainsport tyres.

I know the feelin. I`ve got a cue of jobs waiting. Lowering being the first , followed by uprated actuator etc etc
How mind nunmbingly f***ing boring waiting for Mod money is <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>
Nice wheels though. Glad you found some that fit.

Actually they were my first choice, lucky they fit just like that! My other choice was the Racing Hart CP-035... &quot;lightest measured weight in the world&quot; rims, whatever that means. But they were like €630 per rim!!! that's double the cost of what I have now! And then you have to buy the tyres!

looks good man! &nbsp;looks reeeeeeal good. &nbsp;that is a hellofa tight squeeze. &nbsp;you can tell they're close by looking at the close up of the wheel. &nbsp;but it's alright! &nbsp;well worth it??

Thanks zexel, it was indeed a tight squeeze... It's so hard to find a rim that actually will fit over the calipers of the S14!

And yeah I think it's worth the money... for some reason the shop charged me around US$200 less than the original price they originally quoted me.

So I'm thanking my lucky stars now <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
