No point posting mine up since they're the bog stocks, but damn they look the goods.

I'm very tempted to get my racing NB8A rims painted white...

I put NB8A rims on my SE for the skidpan day as I want to wear the S.Drives out to replace with R888! :twisted:

They only just clear the banjo bolt on the front brakes by about 5mm.

Do tell. They look sorta like the factory parts that came out for the coupe, but without the bolts in the sides of them. I'd be tempted to get a set for mine if they were easily available. Although if I did that I'd need same mad wide wheels to fill the arches rather than the stock NB8A rims...

Just come over to my hood in the next two weeks and we can take some. I've seen that blurry pic a million times lol. Have you rolled the guards and lowered the car yet? Might wanna do that first.

flares are from racinglifestyle.com in the states. lucky i bought them and the wheels at 96 cents!!! they also come in fibreglass if you want to paint them. the finish on them is pretty good. definitly wet layup though. not as nice as the craftsquare mirrors but still good. they make them for na's as well.

Thanks 16bit.

Another question, did you cut your fenders as well, to allow full clearance?
