your vert looks well tasty with those rims! they nicely fill the arches out too. your paintwork looks great as well how come your getting it resprayed?
was gonna ask--- what size tyres and how wide are the rims? 7.5 front 8 inch rear??

well the ride seems no more harsh than before so no probs there an if i remember they are 35rubber on 18s.i had 45 on my old 16s.i still got 3 almost new pirelli p6000 on my old rims.i went up a kerb at 25mph in the snow an ruined one wheel an tyre..thay are 225/45/16 if anyone needs any tyres.i was hoping to make it to rotorstock but not sure if i\'ll have roof done by then an gaffer tape kinda spoils the look i\'m goin for..:rolleyes:
