Fitted my roof racks and basket up with the plan of picking up some wheels this weekend...
Anyone want some dope axis wheels?

Are you talking the rubber bit or the bearing piece that has snapped? Was it tightened too much before or did you hit the mother of all bumps? I swear the roads over here get worse every day ...

re. axis wheels - are you selling another set? What size are they etc.?

Are they both oldies? Might account for any discrepancy in ride height from one side to the other if only one of them is that compressed.

Makes a big difference with the refresh kit that's for sure ... Car looks great! Those wheels are sweet - love the dish(!) - what are you replacing them with?

Edit: Are you running spacers with them?

nope thats 1 old and 1 new. (new right) dunno why the new one looks so dirty... but its not.
i think ill get a refresher kit and do the whole lot, could do with it.
cheers. replacement wheel is a bit of a surprise for a up and coming show hopefully.

Black bora with black rims looks mean i like

Ah for a "4 stage" it was $350 but if you want his "7 stage" its about $450 i think. The seven stage is the most serious one and only really required if it has swirl marks.

Test fitted my new wheels :P

Those black wheels look sweet dylan.

Ok fitted coilovers, foglights and gave the girl a good clean.....
