Not just wider mate, those fellas are 15"s. They belong on the underside of a sofa. I've been looking at 19"s

18"s are probably the sensible option but I tried the works off my accord on and even they look small. They're actually about the same rolling diameter though as the profile of the current tyres is so rediculously big.

First shipment from Japan has arrived and it included a set of tein coilovers, new grill, coded mirrors and the original honda access and mugen model specific brochures.

I can now confirm that my van has the full mugen GT kit fitted and there are hundreds of amazing options available from honda access.

I also discovered that the nasty chrome mirror caps are aftermarket but if I were to remove them it would also remove the indicators thus rendering my van illegal come the next mot. Fortunately I'm familiar with the manufacturer and managed to find some exactly the same but in white.

I also chose to replace the grill with this mesh type ( I've since found out this is one of four different grills available from Honda access). I'm pleased to say this is still my favourite and I think it has made a definite improvement to the front end view.

The coilovers I have yet to fit but I was kinda waiting till I found some wheels. The fitment on these vans is a bit odd to be honest (18 x 7.5 et48 is preferable). There's no room for huge deep dish rims unfortunately so I've been looking in to other options.

These are the ones that Claire prefers although several different styles have been discussed. I quite like them but it's hard to commit to something different when there are so many to choose from. I've also found work emotion xd9's and enkei rpf-01's in the correct fitment.

Any thought on the rims would be most helpful.
