So, for the last week my one wheel had been loosing pressure reasonably quick and i was pumping it back up until pay day.

Was at my friends house yesterday and we had nothing to do so decided to tke the wheel of and find the puncture, and just to add to all the bad luck ive had with my car, it wasnt a puncture. It was a cracked wheel. BUT it was not just one crack! it was 3!!

Due to this and me wanting to change my wheels for a long time ive decided to buy a new set of 18's of a good friend.

Can anyone guess what they might be?

ill have them on tonight so will upload pictures then

Ouch Joe, are those BBS genuine or reps?

They're only reps! which hasn't bothered me much. but its money i would like to have been spending on a new turbo!

Plus with the reps they were an awkward size so tires cost a bomb!

This is what it looks like with the new shoes. Needs some tweaking and needs to be lowered slighty on the front, it has a little too much poke but there are spacers on there just need to adjust the size of it.

Looks very nice buddy,

I got impatient and sneaked a peak at your IG pics last night :)

That is some scene poke going on at the rear - any rubbing at all when pushing on?
 
i do like it now! i saw a red one here with grids last year so just had to do it!

it scrubs on the arch lining slighty but thats it!

its currently et -4!!!!

will all be sitting perfect soon enough though

After putting the wheels on and needing more lows i finally ordered some cheap second hand coilovers.

This one isnt lowered but the rest are...


And when it was lowered...




Also managed to catch my splitter :( all sorted now though!

Wheels really suit it.

What coilovers did you go for? Got any better pics of it with the coilovers on?

Seriously mate, this car is looking so smart with those wheels on! no one likes arch gap! :thumbsup:
 
Very nice mate, car looks spot on stance wise!!
 
as promised, a few more pictures so you can see everything more clearly. im noo photographer as you can see haha, but they give a better idea of how the car is sitting!




 
A bit too much rear poke for me, but that ride height is spot on!

How much more adjustment to go lower is there on the coilovers?

yeh it is a little to much for me too, ive got 20mm spacers on there atm. sapping them for 15mm tonight though!

about 15mm on front and back
 
Do you have 15mm spacers? im after a couple of 20mm as I have 15mm on now which I could do you a deal with?
 
im running 9.5 all round.
7mm on the front and 20mm on the rear but am swapping the 20mm for the 15mm on the rears
