pmfsl at this thread... i can see everyone ordering them then in a months time when they all turn up we get 10 threads in GC...
"new wheels are on" .etc
Then... the comments start flowing in similar to gsi and speedlines LMF may have just doomed the softstar's exclusivity on CS!

Correct tyres for these wud be.... 195/45/R16 ?
Thinking of some of these for the turbo, painted white or black or something.. Anyone know what brakes will go behind them? I'm thinking the 310mm Reyland jobbies won't..?

well, they're ok on muppetsports, so i dare say they'd perform well enough for you.... but they wont fill the wheels like 300/310 will

Don't they only do the disks tho? Am sure theres some of them "turbo" disks sitting around somewhere.. what about calipers etc?
Edit: They only go up to 255mm on the site.
Edit: Found the 288mm
