Default My Sapph *new wheels fitted*

Well i thought i'd better put some pics up now before i start making it my own, Here she is pretty much the same as the day i bought it (apart from an EsCos Turbo heat sheild which i have not yet taken a pic of)
Flint grey, stage 1, Full stainless, Full leather,
In the next few weeks it will go through a little light modifying (Quad headlights, Compomotives, RS500 splitter, strut brace, original header tank etc)
Hope you like them





and here is one i took today at work after i washed it


Cheers
Mark

Yeah i think i'll come down in it mate, and yes the wheels that are on it now sit WAY to far inside the arches, i don't know what offset they are as i've never taken them off!

Cheers mate, they went on no problem and have not rubbed, yet although they do need a balance.
I like them more and more every time i look at it

Good to meet you too yesterday hopefully see you at some of the shows

That's what i thought as the weights look clean and obviously have not been on that long, but at about 70+ it really starts to vibrate
Oh well i'll get them balanced and see if that helps.

i think with these wheels, you have to see them in the flesh. Everyone used to say they looked shit on my 3dr, but when they saw them on the car, they changed their mind. They have a nice dish to them i think.
