Appreciate your comments folks really do, mixed views but the classic MO is favoured it would seem... If honest I loved the MO but I equally like these wheels now.
These will also allow for a larger front brake set up.

Brakes work well considering the upped power, but WILL CERTAINLY NEED BIGGER for when running full boost. Car is light so doesnt need huge brakes but if the rooms there best to fill it and have the bigger stoppers. The car handles so well on 15's and there are no issues with rubbing or tyre choices, thus being the reason for sticking to 15's.

Carbon center caps could be an option

Not wanting to sound too gay but I think your car is screaming out for Gold or white wheels.

Awesome car by the way, glad it's all coming together for you.

Although the car is drivable etc still a way to go to get everything set up how we want it to be.

Current mod this week is a false floor to be made.
From driving the car Saturday the angle my foot needs to be is soooo uncomfortable, so a alloy swaged holed false floor is being made to raise it 40mm.
Front bumper needs the vents sorted to cool brakes and direct air to air filter...etc among other things

BUT most importantly enjoy it! Missed all this year on track, so next year i intend to catch up.

Not sure on the wheels personally either, they do work but I prefer the MO's.

Have you thought about going OZ or similar? I think with your colour some Ultraleggera's would look crazy

Personally if that was my car i'd be sticking either glow in the dark flourescent yellow wheels or flourescent pink wheels on it. But my tastes arent to everyones liking

NO way luke if you do them white you will have to get a dump valve, neons and act as if your 17... It would ruin the whole "mean" look of the car.

Red for the rocker, sort of nod towards the legendary YB!

The wheels look gash in white, the bollox in black tho! Dont think I have ever seen such a difference from just a simple colour change.

You do need to stop fannying about though and get her covered in gravel rash and burnt in brake dust, to give her that 'Fuck off before I chin you' type look!

Painted a spare today in red, few mates said bluntly it looks shite. WTF does one of them know he rides a bmx still.. ....

Im happy with it in principle. Just needs to be aeroquipped then get it crackled/wrinkled finish whatever its known as in red.

Then im happy with it for now
