Why?

By asking questions other people who may also not know something can learn.... if i search, it only benefits me.

Because people get annoyed answering the same questions time and time again. The search function is there for a reason.

It's just common etiquette to search before asking a question.

black racing pros are quite common on NBs, few racers use them.

and that size is easy fit.

When the offset is in the 'teens, then you can ask :wink:

That looks awesome!

Are they lightweight rims and did you have to modify the guards to fit them in?

thanks, I was thinking of spraying them pink. .. joke

Anyways, I lowered it a bit to tuck the tyre it slightly (hard to tuck when camber is like this \\, have not gone for a drive to settle in the springs, but this shows the offset.....
