Gents I've found a lot of old posts but I want to ask the questions again sorry as sometimes things change.

Where is the best place to purchase in the UK?

Is the correct sizing for a NB car:

Front 8J x 18" ET 52
Rear 10J x 18" ET 65

Thanks in advance and sorry to annoy if we are going back around in circles again (no pun intended ).

They are the same spec as Speedline RS wheels, so you shouldn't have any issues running them on a narrow body - I run the same size wheels without issues. You could push to 8.5J on the front if you wanted...

Pics in the meantime... 8)

^^^^ The Speed Yellow car is running BBS E88's not LM's. Much nicer wheel IMO. :thumb:

That was my follow up question regarding whats best for use on the road as again there is conflicting info out there, LM or E88.

Appreciate the info above chaps.

LM for the road

E88 is a motorsport wheel, but can be used on the road
 
BBS LM

Mine are 8.5 on the fronts and are spot on with the offsets as above.

I really must sell these, insane to have them sitting about. They haven't been used since they were refurbished. None of my cars will take these and I have gone older now so no chance in the future.

Here is why I won't be needing them, different era but a good wheel is a thing of beauty. 8)
