Default Standard or not ?

as above really, wondering wether to change to original alloys over my ATS 6 spoke 18's ?

whilst we are on the subject;

standard leather interior or extremely fooking expensive custom alcantara (or however its spelled) by some clever bods that i cant remember the name of at the moment

the custom panles are v. nice but are ment to carry the amps & extra speakers etc that i was thinking of selling / transplantin & getting the escos weight down a bit

opinions ne 1 ?

last one - ride is way too firm with koni adjustables & lowered springs- any opinions over what is good ? was thinking of keeping konis & getting eibachs - roads around here are poo

I'm just rebuilding mine and have had the damaged rear seat repaired and i've also bought a brand new set of standard wheels. I did think about runnig Super T's but alot of people have said they drive better on the original wheels and I do love the OE look!
