These arrived today, now fitted with pics
« on: August 15, 2012, 04:28:51 pm »
Well, i finally got my arse in gear and sorted a courier out to pick these up that i paid for about a month ago. Arrived today, but forgot to mention them to the wife. Think she'll notice i swapped them for my monza's, at least there the same colour  :signLOL:

Just put them on the car, she'll never notice.  If she does just say you swapped them.

I have the same issue, always have to reduce the price by 50% before telling :evilgrin:

This works both ways though, her collection of shoes (or what ever she's into) will be worth a lot more than you think :wink:

I just tell mine not to tell me how to spend my money as I don't interfere in her business. It's a set of wheels, it's not as if you're riding her sister.

If you're that concerned, i am more than happy to hide them for you on my car  :wink: - just throwing it out there as an idea  :signLOL:

They are awesome, and will look great on the car  :happy2:

You seem to be purchasing loads for the car recently - which I am actually rather jealous about (although i shall be joining you in the K04 gang soon  :happy2:)

I'll save you some hassle Gaz. Drop them off at Statllers and I'll put them on my .:R when it arrives. Tell me how much your wife thinks you paid and I''l come down with the readies :wink:

Lovely wheels though Gaz and will suit your car. :drool:

She buys shoes doesn't she? Well you bought some shoes....    For the car!



You're going to find a definite improvement in response with lighter weight wheels fitted. The Monza 18's are over 11 kg.
