whoa, confused now.. :erm:

psycho mini driver- are you wheels the same dish as blackout?

there are so many different dishes of wheels!! :rolleyes:

I was going to go for some wider wheels from huddersfield, with a bigger dish than mine, as they look superb, but funds are low, and going into the van, so might have to give it a miss this year, although i don't want to run with my chromes in the winter, as the salt, grime, water, etc cains the plating. :sad:

Pyscho mini driver:

Were they easy to fit?

How hard is it to drill the new holes on the wing for them?

I really like the look of those arches and it would be great if i didnt have to paint them

they are very easy to fit!its literally a case of holding them where you want them to be positioned and putting a screw through them! a helper is usefull though. when you get them, you will have to drill a pilot hole for the screw (there are 5 or 6 flat points allocated for the screws) add the black plastic trim where the arch meets the body (this is supplied) and just use some screws suitable for metal that are not to long. then you can just screw these straigt through the wing. the arces are fibre glass and once fitted, make the wing alot stiffer too. there would be no need to paint them either, as i say, i havnt and think they look alright.especially when they are pollised with the rest of the car.

Right, I measaured how much my wheels stick out without the current arches on, and its about 2.75".

So I'm looking for some 2.5" arches as I like the wheels sticking out slightly, I know it could make it fail it's M.O.T. but I reckon I can get away with 1/4 of an inch!

Any recomendations for arch types?

These ones seem ok, but I can't find a pic of a car with them on :rolleyes:
