Rollin' on 20s
I wasn't planning on upgrading the wheels...but as I have got 385mm S8 discs and calipers to fit at some point, there was a need for an upgrade.
Having now put some on the 8, i must admit, they do fill the arches that much better. I haven't noticed an enormous difference in the hardness of the ride but you can tell ever so slightly. Also interesting to see up close how the diamond cut is 'sealed' in with what can only be described as a laminated plastic. These will be getting a diamond cut refurb at some point but not for a little while still....we'll need to get the new brake setup underneath there first  Oli

Thanks guys!
The brakes, the S8 tips (remember them?!) and the OSF suspension knock, and 2 new tyres (have just replaced 2 of them today but am trying to stagger the costs) are all the main things i'm looking to get done for the minute. The future may hold (in order of preference): - Spacers - Alloy refurb - Wrap - Bi-xenons - HID fogs PS - Amar, what spacers have you got on...and also, the picture in your signature, is that photoshopped to look lower than it actually is?

Welcome to the 20" club
 They make the car, don't they?Mkoneman, 25mm?? I thought 20mm each side on the rears, and 10mm each side on the fronts for OEM final edition 8.5j wheels? You reakon 25mm each side on the rears? What's the consensus on this? My very next modification as it happens
