Default New Wheels

Finally decided to change my wheels.
The Sapphire has been on the Diamond Cuts for over 6 years, so time for a change.
Wheels fitted great, car is slightly lowered, but like the way it sits.
Couldnt resist multiple pics.

Before:




And now the after pics from today with the 18s:

looks great... their is a reason they are done to death as people say though.. because they look good every time.. you could be different and stick some shitty looking halfords wheels on... different yes but horrible looking... my opinion of course...

I think it looks great but would have stuck with the diamond cuts as they look better and are far more rare IMO!

Some fucking nasty ones as I recall

They may have been done before, but they still look fantastic, and that's all that matters. Mind you, looked well on the RS7s, finish looked good with the paint work, so got two nice sets of wheels for it now!

Many thanks for all the great comments guys.
Its a good feeling when people like yourselves who have great cars praise mine too.
Makes it worthwhile for the cost to have a car thats not used that often.
Cant wait for the shows this year, want to drive the cars asap

Yours looks very similar to mine. I just don't get why some people have to be negative. At the end of the day there's only a few things That you can do to change or improve the looks of your saff without ruining it. And there's not many wheels that look good on a saff. Comp mo's were meant for cosworths so good choice
