New Rims and designer rubber baby!

[framey]

Just got fitted out with new (2nd hand) rims and new Vredestein Ultrac\'s - designed by Giugiaro!! How chuffed am I? Who cares if the tyres don\'t grip worth a Sh!t - as long as they look cool - yeah baby yeah!

Also fitted a exhaust I got off Jake from this forum. Thanks Jake the exhaust sounds awesome! Tanabe me thinks.

So, will soon have my BBS LM\'s for sale after I get them refurbed.
Anyway pics.........

Sorry but isn\'t grip a major factor in the cars handling and out right performance??

Davehg, yes currently in Dresden, have been since september last year. You also in the semiconductor industry? Back there on monday week, I\'ll pm you my german mobile number, we can meet up maybe?  Jim Beams??? :-)

Taking the car to Carls tomorrow for a thorough check up as I plan to take the car over in a couple of months.

Pete, absoultely correct. Just messing mate.

? As Pete implied. Tyre grip is the most fundamental thing of all re. car performance and safety. So assume (hope) you were being a little sarcastic here!!!!?

See post 4 mate.
Just got a bit excited that\'s all!

After £660 as is. Still need to find out how much the refurb is going to cost. I would say the refurbing would be minimal as they are in pretty good nick. More pics on request - pretty hi res so you can see them in all thier glory!

dont flame me for this but i think the bbs`s are nicer looking on the rex, also you never see a chavy corsa or nova running them. imo  

personal choice though. so good luck with the sale dude

Looking good although I have to say that I prefer the BBS LM\'s, Tanabe was my guess with the exhaust as well, glad you like it.

harris2182 mate no worries.

If we all liked the same things all our cars wouldn\'t be individual. It\'s a look I\'ve been after for a while and am totally happy with it. Externally, just deciding on wether to fit another spoiler I got, which I KNOW a lot of you have dissed on certain other cars, then I\'ll be content.

As I say, to each his own.

Best regards

For a pure class, simple clean cut look you cant beat five spokes. They are top mate!

Why, thank you!!

I have just bought a set of chrome RX8 wheels. Getting a bit scared that they might be a bit bling, but we will soon find out!
