    Settle down guys, I only arrived at the workshop at 4:15pm EST to get them fitted.

    Well, I'm obviously home now and everything went well....thank F for that!!

    I only got one (shaky) pic cos it was dark and I didn't have my tripod handy....so here it is. The car and wheels are quite dirty atm so i'll clean it up tomorrow and get some better pics. To be honest, I thought the wheels would stick out more than they do (considering the fronts are 7.5" wide and ET20!!)....oh well, they still look phat!

    well then...

    x2 on everything.

    not enough outtage for a down and out sticker yet!

    I've always been a fan of a tough 5 spoke, on pretty much anything really.


    i like volkswagens

    yeah i might get some 10mm spacers for the rear, i'll just drive it around like this for the moment. not gonna lower it more though, i treasure my insurance!

    Well it's definitely down and its definitely out, just not out as far as I thought. It's further out than the old wheels though, by far.
