Matte Black 6uls on my Clubman. 15x8 with 205/50 R15 Toyo R1Rs.

The stance is heaps wider with the wheels filling the guards nicely. Matte Black is awesome on the red.

Yeah.... I know I take crappy photos :oops:

Nice wheels though, rs8 are my fav, and offset to match.

Why'd you go DOWN in width? :S

I believe they are 3 piece, so you can easily get the barrels changed for some 8" goodness.

8" would be VERY nice, coupled with that offset =D I need new rims

I didn't.
The NB8A wheels I had on were also 15x6.
I knew that, with the +14 offset, I will encounter some rubbing issues (coupled with 205/50 R15 series tyres) and so I was happy NOT to get wheels wider than 6".

Philz it's actually a two-piece wheel, and whilsts 8" seems desirable in theory, it is crazy with that offset, as no amount of guard-rolling will relieve clearance issues, and so you have to look at widebody kits and/or some chopping a-la 16bit's car.

o yea ahaha you didn't xD For some reason, i was thinking 6.5"

Yeah, I also thought that the NB wheel was 6.5".
Believe me, I would have MUCH preferred a 6.5" wheel, but how often do Watanabe's come on sale at a decent price, so I snapped them up lickety-split
