Apologies for the late reply!, Thanks to all who commented and yes im in St Austell in Cornwall I'm chuffed with the dare's only very minor complaint is the fake bolts aren't able to push out from the rear unlike my old RS reps on the Seat... anywho...
Update
Ok so decided to trial fit the new wheels and remove my coilovers helper springs as i knew with the 16's I'd need to adjust the ride height lower. So with some tools and some blocks of wood i got to work!!
Suspension strut removed (stupidly easy job!)
Helper spring removed
Then after re-assembly and fiddling with the ride height i trial fitted the wheels, in the pictures the wheels are fitted with 10mm spacers front and 15mm rear
I'm really happy with the way they're looking tbh! I've now ordered un-branding flat centre caps for the wheels and a full set of 195/40/16 falken Ziex 912 tyres
Also currently looking at a private plate for the car and debating having the car re-painted as the bodywork has unfortunately seen better days! Not sure I'f im going to have to modify my bumpstomps for lows at the front but I'll see what the result is after fitting my wheels with tyres on the car too.
Opinions welcome as always
