I might have missed it but what size are you going for? 18's or 17's? Have you also decided on tyres and the profiles you'll be running?

Probably 18’s to give scope for larger brakes once we know what the engine will do. Designer is using the 6R4 International engine as his bhp/litre guide, which was (in its later, reliable guise) 125bhp/litre. That makes quite a lot (at 8,000rpm) from my 3.7 litre. So! Will I need to go up an inch on the rear tyre, or will 400+ horsepower be more fun with 285 section rubber?

The 5 spokes are the same width and offset as the GT3 BBS wheels, but quite a lot lighter (and also made by BBS), which is why I went for them.
I've got lost in the world of offsets now. BBS LM's are available in:
Front
8.5 ET56
9 ET50
Rear
10 ET 50
11 ET 56
I'm unsure whether the 11's would fit without rolling the arches.
