RS Grant Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 ...after buying the car, I was desperate to change the wheels that were on there. They were 17" OZ F1 Cups, with what looks like a poor silver refurb a long time ago as they were rough, bubbled etc... [N] So, cause I wasnt going buy 2nd best, I went for some 18" Compomotives from Reyland Motorsport... and ordered some Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres to wrap them in. [] Here are a few pics: The black wheels are love or hate, so I'm not expecting totally positive feedback... I was going for the subtle look and think I've done that. [H] Cheers, Grant
andy Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 I like. Always liked the look of the Celica and those wheels fit well with the body colour, IMO. Good call. [Y]
st3ph3n Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 Looks good Grant. But where the hell did you find an empty car park at this time of year?
RS Grant Posted December 17, 2006 Author Posted December 17, 2006 Thanks a lot for the comments guys, I'm really happy with the look of it now.. [Y] LOL @ Stephen...... I had to wait until very late and even then I had to drive to level 5 or something ridiculous. [] Cheers, Grant
the squiggle Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 Well smart indeed Anytime i do that, some one always wants past
andy Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 I'm not expecting totally positive feedback... 11 responses. 11 positive. Your hit rate is pretty good so far []
dan_jess Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 Very smart Grant, looks very mean![H] No riser blocks? [] []
Jamis Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 very nice m8 looks hard as nails wiyh the black rims
scoobyiain Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 Compomotive mo 6 spoke? Had them on my rs in 16 inch and they cost £1050 from compomotive themselves, never realised til after i bought them reyland does them cheaper. Looks spot on
RS Grant Posted December 18, 2006 Author Posted December 18, 2006 Haha, the response has been a fair bit better than I thought it would have been!! Had a kind of mixed response from friends/family and my old man even said 'they look like expensive steelies' to me when he saw them..... Haha, he just doesnt have a clue!! [] Iain, thats MEGA money mate... I was close to buying some white MO 6s when I had my old White GT4 so when I bought this one, there was only one set of wheels that I was gonna be fitting. The 3 week wait while they were made for me was agony, I'm the kind of guy that wants things yesterday, so waiting all that time after forking out for them was tough. lol [] Cheers, Grant
thewelsho Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 I'm the kind of guy that wants things yesterday... [] Oh how well I know that feeling. Car and wheels looks coooool!
dan_jess Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 18" Compo's rule! I do prefer the older shape of them tho, which i guess have been stopped now![] Luckily i have a set in the garage! []
frank c Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Lovely looking car Grant, like the colour too.. Why the change from the Scooby matey ? I thought you were maybe getting another Scoob.
RS Grant Posted December 19, 2006 Author Posted December 19, 2006 Appreciate the comments guys... [] Frank, when the White Impreza was for sale, there was another Impreza for sale at the same time that I was wanting.. but pretty much at the same time as I'd done the deal on the White one with a guy from Arbroath I found out that the Scoob I wanted had been sold.... Pretty p/o'd at that, bugged me that I never gave the guy a deposit, but you live and learn. D'oh!! Was just innocently looking through the autotrader when I saw this car for sale, its a very very rare colour.. only ever seen one other Storm Grey ST205 on the GT4 Owners Club and used to love that car.. so just decided to buy this one when I went and found out how clean/standard/low mileage it was. [H] I'll defo be back in a Scoob at some point, have to wait and see when though. [] Cheers, Grant
