Hi guys,

After selling my White Speedlines 17" (to Red202) last year and driving on my Work Fibra 16" its time for me to go 17s again.

This time I want to buy alloys as lightweght as possible not to hinder acceleration.

There is a local guy who has offered a brand new set of 17" Technomagnesio lightweight alloys (weighing 6.5kg each) for around $900 without tyres.

I was wondering any of you guys ever saw a 6th Gen with this setup or has any pictures?

Yes but then I would have to ship them to Malta which will cost as much as the rims

I always wondered why my 16" look "different" i.e. they are somehow tucked in leaving a noticible gap between the outside of the rim and the fender.

So what I did yetserday I pull off one alloy an guess what:

Size; 16x7 Offset +50.

I guess that I the reason why they look crap, the offset is wrong!!

Now I would not like to sell the Fibras as they are soooo light and are good to put on for a ncie race day but was wondering what spacer can I get to get them look really good flushed to the fenders withou rubbing?

My tyres are 205/50/16
