erm,,,,, aslong as your happy with em and all that

helens car looked pukka already if im honest,, only thing i would have done was fitted a rouse spoiler and spent the rest of the cash on speak therapy to get rid of the geordy accent and make it sound a more "sarf landen"

cant think why though

[quote="MAD YUM"]What you guys and girls think???

RS turbo's use inset bells so you are comparing apples to oranges ! FYI I can get 343x32mm 6 pots inside Helens wheels...

thats why i said different car,,,, i remember 4x4 was a big brake issue hence the need for comps

i would have thought a smart man like you would be able to sqeeze 355's under there


ps: what could you squeeze under BMW 328i bbs splits out of interest

say using brembos,, maybe even AP's as aint the basic calipers only just over 500 quid is ( though im prob totally wrong as ive never looked at em )

ps: brom also managed to get 315's under my old mondeo 16ins SI wheels on my old cabrio

im gonna miss not having a brake person like that about if im honest

So why bother mentioning it if it has no relevance whatsoever? 343 6 pots give 2mm clearance inside that wheel so can you let me know how a 'smart guy' like me could fit 12mm bigger discs inside there

I went for these wheels for the track.


I love my RS 7's but they been on the car for 2 years now, and i'm a bit sick of the chocolate wheels now, everytime i hit a bump i would think how much it was going to cost me to get them put right.


I was also advised to go for the 17's over the 18's as they are better for the track.


End of the day, I'm happy with them

martin i think you have taken what i said in the wrong way totally

i was commenting on the erst wheels but forgot about the clearence issues of 4x4 cossies

the smart guy comment was actually a posative comment and not a ignorant comment as you seem to have read it

why would i comment about fitting AP's to BBS wheels if i was trying to be little you

you have done a brake kit for another person on this forum where you fitted HUGE fucking brakes under hes rondels, think there 380 on hispec calipers on 18 ins rondels

hence why i said smart guy to get em to fit

sorry you took it the wrong way but i was making a comment as im looking at brake options for MY car at the min before the ring, which has 17ins bbs splits belive it or not

ive alot of respect for the enginerring you put into cars,,,, you obv done understand that but when i think of work on cars thats above the usual spanner monkey your the first name i think of these days

sorry again if ive offended you, honestly mean that

hence i replied to explain

PS: any reply on the may brake size under bbs splits on a bmw,, tell me which hubs would be better for clearence also out of M3 or just normal hubs

serious though i need a brake upgrade for my shed before the ring and you are the man im comming to as your prices are just as i like em

Origami (折り紙, origami?) (derived from "ori" meaning "to fold", and "kami", meaning paper, and changed to voiced sound "gami" according to Rendaku) is the ancient Japanese art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to create a given result using geometric folds and crease patterns preferably without the use of gluing or cutting the paper medium. "Origami" refers to all types of paper folding, even those of non-Asian origin.
