Thanks fella's,

@Rob, I done some research before buying them and was lead to believe they weighed 26lbs, but I weighed them on my scales at home yesterday and they are registering at 14.5kg which is 31lbs,
I will try again using another scales as the one at home has been known to be inaccurate, or maybe that's me being optimistic!!!  :ashamed:

They feel lighter than the Helios in the hand, but I'll weigh them properly in the next few days and report back!

Great looking rim there, actually a lot better than the BBS that's on the rear. Get some good PSS on them and you have a winning combination  :congrats:

I'm with Danish on this one  :drinking: think they suit your car better than the ch's

Looking forward to seeing them fitted  :party:

I got this on Friday, its a Polar FIS+ advanced, I bought it on one of the other forum's brand new,
Absolutely brilliant bit of kit, allows lots of settings to be altered in the mfd screen, also displays dozens of screens of realtime info e.g. coolant temp, side G meter, ill put up some pictures later of some of the screens,
It also allows the passenger side mirror to dip when reverse is engaged, shows optical display on the sat nav of parking sensors, allows the American DRL to be adjusted,
Theres a chronometer in it also which you can set to measure time between 2 speeds, set up a start speed and finish speed, then it has a timer which displays on the mfd screen

It was a bit of a pig to fit though, it plugs into the can gateway, I read a few guides on fitting which said it was located above the brake pedal, but turns out it is over the relays, easiest way to get to it is to take off the wipers, plastic tray, wiper mechanism and there is a cover which allows easy access to the can gateway, plug it in and away you go!!

Ill put up loads of pics later when I get a chance to do it,








I'm still waiting to get tyres for my 19s, hoping to have them on for a show in cork next weekend.


Here's a few screen shots of some of the options in the Polar unit, really is a great piece of kit,
There are lot's of different settings and configurations available
 
Sorry, some pictures are blurred from my phone!
 
 






 
 
Lap timer and acceleration chronometer to measure time between 2 set speed's
 
 
 

 
 
Optical parking display available to be activated on columbus screen, it can also display on the maxidot screen, but this is enough for me tbh!

Got a chance to throw my new genuine Audi 19'' Calera's on after work.

Sorry about the quality of the picture's, there on my HTC, I think the camera lens is scratched or marked!









I tried some 8mm spacers on the rear but it's poking too much, will try some 5mm, they should sit nicely with that on the back.

Tyre's are Vredstein ultrac sessanta's 235/35/19

I also put up some more pic's of the rear LED tail light's, much easier to photograph in daylight!

Anyway, that's all for now!!
