And what a difference its made.

Nick

Hate to say it but I preferred the black ones too.

I\'m all for the new ones. Much better, but thats just my opinon. Its what you prefer that really matters mate. :)

How comes the back is so high? Is it still on a jack or something it doesnt look high in the old pics.
Looks good with the new ones :yes :cool

Not when the missus has NO idea what she is on about. That\'s what it feels like with mine. Mine has been wanting me to get new wheels (mine are standard but painted black). She seems to think my 16inch tyres will fit on any wheel I buy :confused: . I could spend all week typing all the stupid things she says about cars but I wouldn\'t want to crash the forum :rollin

Those 3 spokes are the work of the devil. You have definitely made the right move there mate.

I bet she doesn\'t even use the ones on her car. Never a dull moment with my missus. Last time I took her out for pub lunch I watch her LOAD her chips up with Pepper say "bring on the heart attack". I was laughing my head off. The week before she wanted to buy booze at tesco gone 11pm. Following day she thought cornwall was near newport, south wales after a 3 1/2 hour drive between the two. :spank
The best one by far is how she thought I checked my tyre pressures with a 20pence piece. Thought I put the coin between the road and tyre :xconfused
A friend of mines girlfriend needed some air in her tyres. She actually went looking for the stuff in the motor factors. My mate couldn\'t bring himself to tell her that you just did it at a garage, not buy tins of the stuff, lol
guys I think you need to go looking for girlfriends at slightly higher class locations. McDonalds is not the spot to find the better ones.
She was my mates girlfriend! Honest guv!

Hey thats a bit low, I\'m a restaurant manager at McD\'s and have a degree, most of my staff are students studying for degrees too.
We\'re not all thick you know. I even have the sense to have an FD. :)
Barry
Yeah! below the belt! :mad: :rollin My missus has an english degree and is studying law now. My sister who is equally as stupid is a solictor also. I like to call the clever dumb people :rollin
Same wheels as I have mate :)
But I am sorry to say this but I prefer the black ones on your car.
Iv got the same alloys as you, there advans right the black ones? iv never liked 3 spoked alloys cus they always show the rusty brake disc behind um lol.. good excuse to buy bigger shiny ones :yes
Prefer the black ones I\'m afraid mate....
I liked the black ones.
There is one solution that would keep most people happy guv....spray the AVS rims black! Cheap to do with a can and with decent results (ie what i\'ve done)
A friend of a friend has done this with his AVS rims on a yellow / gold Supra (you may have seen it at shows, its got rather large TV screens in doors and Top Secret Engine stuff).
That way you have removed the crime that is 3 spokes but kept it street racer style.
Just my 2p
Chris D.
ps. look better on yours than they did on mine :)
Yeah I have to agree with Chris on that one although Black wheels aren\'t to everyone taste. I love black wheels personally which is why mine are away getting powder coated black at the mo. I\'ll post before and after pics on Tuesday when I get them on.
