The whole lot, including fitting, cost me less than ?1350, about $2500

Sounds a lot more in dollars though

They're 20" Lorinser LM6's (Replicas) with a 35 offset. Just added 10mm spacers and they sit in the arches just lovely

I can get more sets if you're interested

Didn't upgrade the rears, as I believe there is only about 70% of the braking done by the rears. The car now stops very nicely thanks very much though
