No one likes the 6UL's? I quite dig it. Its similar to the new weds sport wheel and enkeis.

I'll be getting the 15x9's soonish I think, once I've recieved some other goodies I'm ordering.

I'm finding it quite hard to find some decent photos of NA's with the 9's to see just how they sit though

Adam,
From what i have read and been told by 949 racing you will need to flare your guards to run the 15x9's. They will not clear even if your guards are lipped.
Thats ok though, I love flared guards :D

On their site it says you just need rolled guards to fit them unless you go for stupidly wide tyres. I'd only need an extra 6mm on the outside compared to my 7\" +17's so I think a heat gun and repeated use of a guard roller might be enough to pull the guards enough, so I'll just hold off getting my car painted till thats all sorted. Not that I was looking at getting it painted on any useful timescale anyway. Flares would be nice but would kind of make it a bit obvious that I've increased the track waaaaay too much, and would look a little silly when running normalish wheels. They'd look tops with the 9's on though...
