Rub central.

Make it look like a tractor.

Take the wheels and sell them on if you think there's profit to be had.

Similar situation I had. I'm now on 15s and have a set of stunning 17s sat in the garage. But i'd feel bad if I sold them on for a profit.

Lowered 30/60. Rubs at high speeds on Bad roads, ET42 (clears the Inner arch no problem) Needed the arches pushed out a bit but that aside, never caused too much of a Problem.

i can have them for £50 with new tyres, shouldnt have much trouble with them rubbing much theyre only 7" wide and they et49mm
if i dont like them theyre either going to sit in my loft or be sold on here for the price i gave for them

pfffft if your mate is dumb enough to sell to you for feck all then its his tough luck if you sell for more... I'd expect he would do the same to you so dont worry about it.

I agree with the above agreer agreeing with Matt2107 :wtf:

16's look perfect when on Nova's if its looks you're going for and 15's always good for handling and looks blended.

I'd buy the wheel off your mate for the agreed price and then possibly sell 'em after a short while.

Nowt wrong with that
