Rabbit loving the look of your 3dr

My all time favourite wheels for a Black 3dr are 17" gold RL7's and silver for the other 2 colours, but i had to get CXN's for mine as they are perfect.

Do not need to change hubs mate - they are et50 so plenty of room for adaptor.

How is car? Have you calculated toe for me yet?

Spent some time on mine over the weekend.

Some photos to keep on track (sorry for hijack)

CXN's by far the best, RL7's and the Monte style close second
