Alloy change?

Really liking the starmag alloy wheels at the moment, would have got them before my minilites but didn't know the name of them, until after I got the minilites... typical :mad:
The starmag offset is less than the minilites, not by much but means my car can sit lower as at the moment my tyre rub like crazy :(
I know a couple of you guys have the starmags and wanted to see what you think of the change and what you think of the wheels.
Sadly this will have to be done after I've got my coilovers.

They've just become very "meh" wheels over the last couple years.

Still nice and still suit most cars. (Which is why most have them).
 
You sure?? :confused: et is how much poke you have from the fitment PCD??
No.

A quick Google
The offset of a vehicle's wheel is the distance between the centerline of the wheel and the plane of the hub-mounting surface of the wheel.

So an offset of 0 is the centre of the wheel.
+ve offset is towards the face.
-ve offset is towards the rear.

So an offset of -7 is 7mm back from the wheel centre.

:confused: Have a look at this site http://www.rimstyle.com/pages/alloy_wheels_explained.html
The offset is commonly shown as the letters ET followed by a number, eg: ET49. The offset is always measured in mm and can normally be found stamped on the back of the wheel or behind the centre cap (if fitted).
 
Just seems funny that starmag fits perfect under the arches on the k11, just like belly93. Where as the k10 needs work to the arches from what I've seen.
