thats it ive made my decision! 
Im more than likely to go for these
http://www.comp.co.uk/wheels/popup.asp?wheel=38
not deepdish but i think they suit the car well, and look tidy and if i want deepdish i can swap the back two for deepdish 1s!

my cinq is lowered 55mm i think. the 14's dont scrub the arches at all
i got them wheels... scrub the outside of the arches like a bitch! i think its cos i have rear discs tho so the wheels are out an extra 3 or so mm.
i bent the metal over inside on one arch and it dont seem to be rubbing now

Same as mine were heh, got them from Demon Tweeks - at first refused to sell me them for a cinq until i just told them the size ET and PCD and told them that if they really wanted to argue the toss about it to say it was for a punto
Kerbed them badly when out for a drive in a bad mood
and got them refurbed to a polished lip and gunmetal centre

as do i have rear discs
, you can see the calipers on the pic if you look close enough. how much is yours lowered by?
its only got -40.
what rears on yours? mine are from an UT so they come out 3 or 5mm but if you have GT ones they dont.
what tyres you got? ones on the back of mine are cheapo ones that have a pretty round sticky out side wall which i recon dont help

ah, that'll be why
, mine are off a 2.0 marea, which is the same setup as the GT , i'm dropped at least 50mm and dont have any scrubbing at all at the back, only a tiny front scrub on full lock, but the tracking is slightly out, when its setup right they dont scrub anywhere
Oh, and the tyres are Falkens
ahwell, ill join in the show your comps off
How much is that cinq lowered by Brooky?
-50mm rear on 13"x5.5j Sparcos
-??mm front on 14"x6j Comp MO's, its on coilovers
-??mm front on 14"x6j Comp MO's, its on coilovers
-50mm rear on 13"x5.5j Sparcos
-??mm front on 14"x6j Comp MO's, its on coilovers
ahhhh
, the back being on 13 makes it look slightly lower, the front looks way lower than mine tho, and your on the same wheels, so the front has to be at least a 60mm drop on yours! :devil:
ahhhh
i get very slight scrubbing on the arches up front if i corner very hard. Want to fold the lip under the arch out to stop this scrubbing and make the arch a little wider
But dont know what to do about the liner?
what i recon a lot of people do is buy lowering springs for a cento thats sitting on 10+ year old sagged stock springs.... mine never dropped much if at all. rides much better tho.
Going to strip the black spray paint of them once i got new tyres ordered. are compomotives powder coated? either way compomotives MUST be white. its the law.

I can see how your back wheels scrub craig, they sit alot wider than mine do. i didnt realise the UT setup made that much of a difference to width tbh!
What ET are yours craig? mine are 35, got 9mm spacers up front. not tried them on the rear.
Sparcos are 29 IIRC and are very close to catching and there only 5.5j

no idea! guess they could be anything. would it be on the wheel somewhere?
they do stick out a good bit tho

your loosing the plot. i can understand why you want the paint off (seen them in the flesh) but your car looks really good on black alloys.
