What offsets have you gone for as they look like they sit in a bit far? Unless its just the pics? How wide are the rims? Nice wheels though

  these are the wheels I originally wanted but they don't make them in the correct size

The wheels are 17x7.5. They tyres on there are the same size as the existing 1s on my standard rears. I believe people constantly put rears on the fronts so don't understand why they don't fit correctly!

offsets all wrong but as far as looks are concerned you can sort that with spacing. Space the rears with hubcentric spacers, smaller profile tyres. 215/40/17, black wheel nut covers and they should look fine. As for handling... well your loosing the smaller width fronts so understeer/oversteer is gonna change drastically

Fella we need the offsets...as in et35. Most likely this will be marked on inside of wheel. Rears on front is a bodge and needs 15mm spacers. To.me you look like youve got a set of wheels with monster offset, and will need biiig spacers all round, with fronts around 15mm more than rears for a given wheel type to fit all corners. Id recommend anyone do very careful research before buying wheels.

Totally agree with this. I litrillaly spoke with over 20 companies about wheels avalible for the VX. Factory's and suppliers. I don't like TD 1.2s (all multi spoke wheels actually) I hated the stupid size tax on the fronts but in the end that got smashed into insignificants after I had some compos made for me hahahaha
