    Well the seller has agreed to sharpen the pencils and come back with something better regarding the shipping. I've had a good think about it and decided if they can come back with something attractive I'm gonna go for it.

    Well, I've bitten the bullet on the wheels. I've pondered long and hard on it and I'm convinced they will enhance the car in a positive and worthwhile way. Stepping up from 17 to 18 inch, half an inch wider and increased offset from ET38 to ET35 are going to give that little extra muscle in an area I think is missing from the car at present

    As others have pointed out the wheels are quite similar in style and I like that because I don't want to lose that look, at the same time I feel they are a nicely updated version of the "R" theme. Actually, In person they actually look a little larger than the 18 inch Aristo style, an illusion created by the spoke pattern.

    I guess with what I've done to her she may not be wild ahead turner, but I'm also a person very conscious of turning the wrong heads and prefer the OEM styling.

    Once I get everything sorted, prepare for an onslaught of photos.

    Thanks again for everyone's pointers/opinions/views.


    Cheers,

    Snowy.

    It'll be a few weeks, I'd say. Now I have to go on a 225x18x40 tyre hunt, in preparation.
