Talking New Wheels are on WITH BETTER PICS

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.

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.

Just updated the pics and they look a lot better.

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

Cool

How much has it been lowered?

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

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