Like the title says... has anyone used "Rave" arches? They say they're like W&P in style, but are a tad wider, and the price is certainly right:

I was thinking of going with 6X12 StarMag wheels and these look wide enough for 12s, but I wonder if anyone's actually used them?

Thanks!

You don't need arches for the standard Cooper wheels :thumbsup: (see exhibit A below right, lol)

I suspect they'd be fine for 5" if not even 5.5" wide wheels, possibly depending on tyre style.

Look about the same width as "standard" arches to me :genius:
