thanks for all the advice too, the wheels went on a treat, just waiting for the ReSpeed coilover kit now to drop it a little more and get it set up nice for the track

It would look like a Hot Wheel. I'm reasonably sure they won't fit.

The black car does look hot with those 18's, but I still think that's a little too big.
