   I`ve decided that i`m going to go for a set of 16" white Nimrods but just tried to order them from Pug and they have said there are a couple of diferent ofsets. Does anyone know the exact tech spec of an "03 reg VTR wheel? Or has anyone fitted these allready and know ifthey go straight on or will I ned spacers?
   
   Any help would be much appreiciated

   Thanks for that, I want new ones with no scuffs and as i`m shit at saving, I`m gonna buy a couple this month and a couple next month as I also want to lower my car by 50mm as well. I have been quoted £100 a wheel,without tyres. I have friend who can paint them for me so that will save some ££££`s

   Your going to buy brand new wheels to paint them?
   
   Surely you would be better off buying used wheels if your going to paint them? If you re-furb them properly they will look like new....

   I want them to be mint and looking on ebay Nimrod go for any where between 300 - 400. On most of these at least two wheels will need to be refurbedat a cost of £60 per wheel. And most will need at least 2 or 3 of the tyres replacing making a second hand set of whees cost clos to £500 for a mint set. I can pay £400 for a brand new set!!

   Yaeh I see your point but thats £400 before you even paint them and put rubber on them, shop around for powder coating as I can get them done near me for £40 a wheel

   Like I said, I have a friend who will paint them fo me so it will just cost me the price of the paint so will probably be the cheaper option but thanks for the info anyway. If I do decide to powdercoat them I will PM you fo the details.
