Hi guys, well I got my car back from the painters again... This time got my wheels painted black like the RS230 wheels... he even painted the V in the VRS black for me aswell! I also have added the gloss black rear bumper protector aswell. Car is going back to him again in 2-3 weeks (no not for more painting) to get the wheels glossed up abit more. Atm they are only semi gloss due to the paint and clear coat unable to adhere properly to the athracite surface that was originally on there. Have to wait abit for this paint to harden up so we can put high gloss black on

Well here are the pics!

My gloss black number plate brackets and surrounds from LAKIN plates should arrive in the new couple of weeks. I'll then be able to mount the black and white number plates I ordered

So guys... been abit busy lately but did a thing today... I always wanted to go wider tyres but knew it wasnt possible on the current Xtreme rims. So i researched tyres / rims and came up with a combo - VMR 710 19x8.5 ET45 with Michelin PSS 245/35 tyres. Got it all put on today... with fingers crossed... IT FIT! Albeit close to the rear strut (3-4mm clearance) but the great thing is... no rubbing or scraping at all!

This setup would be better with ET40 rims but unfortunately the VMR rims dont come in that offset for PCD 5x112.

Oh and had to go the matte black

Anyways pics are worth a thousand words. I will get more up tommorow after the wheel alignment is done.
