Default My Moonstone 4x4 Saph with its new 18" Revolution Alloy

I think they look awesome and really really suit the car, these are the new Revolution 18" alloys wrapped in Brand new Falken 912 Tyres in
215-35-18 the wheels are ET33 and have no clearance issues, just waiting on my Rouse Splitter now and i think she is finished

Spec has changed somewhat since i bought her to make it reliable & more BHP

Stunning, I love the car and the wheels.
Paint the calipers (clean them up) a nice silver and they (and the car) will look brand new
