G.Mac Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) Well after much pissing about trying to get my last locking wheelnut off I finally managed to get my new wheels on, a set of 18" Rays 57F V-Speed alloys Crappy pics I know, they were taken with my phone as it was getting dark I wasnt a fan of the gold wheels with the grey car and I think the car looks much better now. Also the car feels much smoother on the road soaking up the bumps much easier A Happy Graeme Edited December 14, 2008 by G.Mac

thewelsho Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) Love that! You're right about the gold/silver combo, I'm not a fan of it either, but those look superb, really suit the car. The car doesn't need lowered... it just needs lowered a bit more Edited December 14, 2008 by TheWelsho
st3ph3n Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Proper wheels I bet they barely trouble the scales too G. Nice to see someone really doing it proper with the wheels.

mctwistuk Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Wheels are looking sweet. Good choice. How is the rest of the Mods coming along?
colzo Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Looking good mate. I like the contrast between the wheels and the gold Brembos.
dan_jess Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Looks brilliant! Nice to see someone doing something different to Pff7's! zzZZZ

scooby222 Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 be interested to see how you get on with the turbo too,pretty much the same spec ive got planned for mine once the pennies are saved! set of coilovers and a blue respray and wel be twins
