How do you like the Dare version of the 090? I've been looking for something similar.

I'm trying the hardest to find if there's a US dealer. They would perfect for what I want.

my ti with 17x8 et35 rondell contours with 215/45 tyres, silver with polished lip.
will be removing these wheels in favour of some more winter friendly wheels in the next few weeks and then getting these perfect with some smaller tyres ready for next summers shows

What offset and did you need spacers? Also, what are you lowered on and did you have to roll the fenders? I'm looking at a similar setup and this info would be great

They're on the right way, just no center caps.

Sorry for the late reply! I think they are et20 not 100% though, I rolled my arches when i first got them as i had doubts about getting the 9j under there, but in the end i wouldn't have needed to i don't think. I now run 15mm spacers on the front and back just because i like the poke :P that required some arch flaring! I'll upload some more pics when i get a chance, Its lowered on budget front coilovers and the rear has uprated gas shocks and not sure what the springs are, i just kept playing around with different ones until i got it to sit and handle nicely.. oh and i also run adjustable camber mounts on the front!

Edit:
This is how it sits with 15mm spacers and a fat friend in the boot

Anyone here running 16x8 style 5s that are painted? Picked up a set for a good price and they need repainting. Should I go polished lips and a silver weave? Polished lip with gold weave? Or repsray the whole thing back to stock silver.

If that's your white car in your sig, Gold would be flashy if that's your thing but it's a hard color to get right painting. Silver would be a little classier and easier to put down I'd think.
