Not really that expensive mate..

I know exactly what I want so im not planning on buying anything twice.. Thats when it starts getting expensive!!

For the money that im spending on the car, its well worth it for the difference that it will make, going to be absolutely transformed when its finished!!

Yeah they are 18's. Look much bigger now its low  :wink:

Yeah the front is still high, I have lowered it since the pics, so its sat nicer now, but ideally I would like it to be dropped another 10mm..

Local speed bumps are the only problem with that lol..

I really like the contrast of the anthracite & candy in this shot, think it's pretty much made up my mind on what colour to have my winter/track wheels.

Hust out of interest, what do they weigh with a tyre? I assume they're not the magnesium ones??
Sideways yo!

Ah cool, yeah I think they look great.. Although this isn't exactly the colour im going for, its going to be a lot more battle ship grey than anthracite.. Should look a little different!!

I think with tyres they are about 17-18KG..

I tried to get the Mg wheels but you need to order 12 sets lol..
