Thanks for the overwhelming positive feedback guys - much appreciated.

Have to say the car rides, brakes and overall performs so much better now, I was previously running 20" cast wheels that were just too heavy and effected the dynamics of the car. It felt sluggish and not balanced. Didn't want to compromise this time around ... do it once do it right

No rubbing issues with 275, 285 would have been perfect but as we know PSS don't come in that size. The 295 PSS were way too chubby and not an option.

Thanks again
Mike

They look fantastic man, great choice. No rubbing at all, even with you being lowered? Have you done any fender work at all, or not? Do you know the offsets?

Thanks bud, My guards are rolled from my previous set of wheels which had aggressive offsets and used to rub, now there's a good fingers gap between the rear guards with the HRE' setup. The guys at HRE customise the offsets to your needs. I wanted to sit low without any rubbing issues so they suggested 10.5" instead of 11" on the rear.

Offsets are ET38 front and ET52 rear

Looks amazing, probably the best setup I've ever seen on an F.

I definitely agree. Heavy cast wheels affect the performance of the F that is why am transitioning to light forged wheels as well. But am staying with 20s for the looks aspect. My new wheels are also similar in style to yours. I love concave mesh wheels! By the way, is this Susuka Grey or the Satin finish?

Looks great, love the tint on the wheels.

Maybe I missed it but what offset are those wheels?
