I wondered if anyone has any ideas for which arches would suit these wheels best. I was looking at sportsack arches but wasn't sure if there would be any better.

I also wondered what body mods would need to be made for these wheels.

many thanks

loads of different ones for 6x12s, mostly comes down to your own personal choice, with spacers you could also put massive miglia arches on too if you wanted to. Have a look here for a basic selection:

before you buy those wheels have a search on any car forum for MWS or Midland wheel supplys

you will find that with in a year your new wheels will have turned to mush and leave you wishing you had bought them from somewhere else

Keep away. You MIGHT be ok with those ones because they are all powdercoated, with MWS it's the polished surfaces and chromed surfaces that go bad as soon as they see a piece of salt.
I looked at buying these wheels at a show, and was put off when I touched the surface and couldn't then rub the finger mark off. They will be a nightmare to keep clean because the matt surface is 'bumpy' compared to painted smooth surfaces, that's what makes it matt.

Go for standard black arches but in guessing you will need slight body mods so they don't rub :thumbsup:

I have the same size wheels and have just fitted some group 5 euros from Abs motorsport.Really good fit to but did need to buy some 8mm spacers for the rear wheels.
