Koop Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Bridgestone Potenzas FTW.If you want any more than that we need the width & offset of the wheels. Bear in mind to go low profile on 13s you will have to be ridiculously low & may need a chassis notch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty_82 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 If they are custom wheels then there are only 2-3 decent uk companies that can design and manufacture sets of splits, I know of two off the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
