What wheels are you having?

Got some black 19" BBS CHs with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres.  :pomppomp:

Re: My Candy R... + APR RSC
« Reply #48 on: August 03, 2011, 10:54:15 pm »
So last weekend i had my wheels fitted (BBS CH 19") and also the APR RSC TBE...

The wheels speak for themselves as im sure people have seen in various places before. Had Michelin Pilot Super Sports fitted. Must say the tyres are phenominal and not only do they look great, they ride really nicely and grip like super glue, best tyre out there!  :yes:

Now onto the APR... OH MY GOD! Its amazing. Start up from cold and it growls into life, tickover really loud and sounds like you've awakened an animal. Pulling away and the exhaust crackles and pops and gets goose bumps on your arms. Lifting on off, on the over-run, the exhaust back fires and spits, a true sensation. Accelerating, the sound builds more and more, until you're at the top 1/3 of the rev range and it sounds nothing short of amazing. The beauty of the APR system is on the motorway or crusing in 6th, its as quiet as OEM, but when you go for the beans, there's nothing quite like it. The system is a work of art in itself, really well manufactured and looks tasty hanging out the back, and really underlines the development gone into the system.

The only comparison is to compare to the Milltek. Millteks are ok in providing a high-flow system that sounds more meaty than standard, but really the 2 systems are not nearly in the same league, and I would urge anyway to give the APR a listen before automatically stumping for the Milltek, because it truly blows it out the water!

Anyway, took some pics. Think i want to drop the front by an inch further so it sits a tiny bit flatter, but that's a small alteration.

Hope you like! I'll see about coming to the next big meet, so anyone who's interested can hear the APR for themselves! :)

In preparation for selling, i cleaned up the old girl, and took some pics as its now back to standard. Hope you like!  :) the colours are saturated slightly to bring them out, so in real life, the red isnt as pinky, just damn good! haha
