New Wheels are on

Monkey Boy · 17-04-2004, 20:59

Not a pimp daddy style as the last set but plain and simple.

Just better not smash one as i have the only set at the moment

Pics are crap as getting dark. I can clean all 4 of these quicker than doing 1 of the old ones

and can clean the back without taking them off.

Make the disks look rather small now.

Stimps · 17-04-2004, 21:07

Very Nice! See what you mean about the brakes now... how long til they get upgraded?

faboka vrs · 17-04-2004, 21:08

Very nice. What size are they? Rear brakes look VERY small.

Jimmy · 17-04-2004, 21:13

Isn't Adrian buying the 'pimp daddy style' ones? HeHe

What size are they?

Monkey Boy · 17-04-2004, 22:07

Wheels are 18 x 7.5 and Adrian is having the old pimp wheels

Brakes

not for a while. Got my stereo + multimedia install to sort out yet and exhaust is all booked in for start of May with bodyshop booked for the end of May

So much to do so little time.

Looking sweet mate.

Monkey Boy · 18-04-2004, 19:46

Just updated the pics and they look a lot better.

Wheels look much bigger than the last ones from a distance

Lummox · 18-04-2004, 19:56

Look sweet, from the pics i'd swear they were 19's

day tripper · 18-04-2004, 21:47

Looks neat, how much has it been lowered?

***DGW*** · 18-04-2004, 21:49

I like those, Paul, and it is really useful to be able to clean the insides without having to removing the wheels.

Really handy being able to change the brake pads without removing the wheels

Monkey Boy · 19-04-2004, 09:50

Dont know realy just kept going until i was happy with how it looked. Looks lower at the back because my old wheels are in the boot

Quality and finish of the wheels is very good

looks great, they definately look like 19on. if you dont mind me asking how much were they?

fab16v · 19-04-2004, 21:13

IMHO they look miles better than the old ones. That is saying something, as I thought the old ones looked class!

I really like those wheels. You really are a lucky get!

Monkey Boy · 19-04-2004, 21:42

Wheels were £475 with new wheel bolts then £25 to get tyres taken off old wheels, valves and balancing.

SkodiRS · 19-04-2004, 21:47

Paul,

noticed your running Ecstas (can't remember who make them...Kuhmo?).

How do you rate them?

Nigel26 · 20-04-2004, 16:39

looks good matey, didnt think you'd stick to the first set for long... kinda wished i'd have known about you flogging them though... let me know if you change your mind again and want rid of those ones
