I think you should get some spacers for the back but the whhels look quite good in either colour. Looks like good quality work though from the pictures ![Smile Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif)

already have 20mm spacers at the back, the whole bodykit extended the rear arches by about 30-40mm. any wider spacers and it will be rubbing too much

I prefer the old ones.
Could just be the colour though. Don't think cars should ever have same colour wheels as the bodywork.

cheers for the opinions, as much as i want to space it out more I cant becasue of the bodykit, if i do space them out more I will have to raise the car and this would just make it look worse than it is now

Tucking is cool on some vags
But poke is by far better, stance will eat lows any day of the week
Just raise her and get a way better stance
