Red centres  :happy2:

I know different wheels, but gives you an idea.



Si
Oh my, that doesnt look as bad as i thought it was going too, i dont have painted skirts or anything, i guess having the polished lip, would mean if i wanted to change colour at any stage, i could just repaint the center instead of having to do the whole thing, im guessing you have to buy the gold bolts in? or can they be painted?

yep if you did keep the lip polished then as u say only thing that would need paint is the centre and you can buy gold bolts dude  :happy2:

Glad your warming to my idea  :drinking: i personally like the track/fast road look for my cars.
My friend has a polo with similar wheels in the mentioned colour choice and i think it looks good as dont see the colours about often  :happy2:

Red centers would look sick. Not that I'm biased  :wink:

On a side not, i bought some halfords laser blue sidelights tonight for £4.50, didnt expect much with the price, better than the originals and are whiter, but not that good, anyone know some nice sexy looking sidelights for me to get instead?

Are your Monza 17s going up for sale then or are they already gone? I am in the market for a decent set.

There not up for sale as of yet, but i would consider it for the right price, or a swap.

Well its been a while since I updated my car.

Little heads up, had them BBS speedlines that I had refurbed, never put them on car, finally got rid last night for some Rotiform BLQ reps. 19" 8.5j, looked scary big in back of the lads van when he came round to house last night.




Still not sure if im going to keep the colour, or change them at a later date. Came with 235/35 on rear, and front are 215/35, not much stretch but i love how the front ones look.

Only future update at present is i should be getting some FK Highsport Coil overs from the lad who swapped me these. Now ive got a full set of BBS Monza 17" with tyres I need to get rid of to pay for them.
