Finally the Bridgstones wore out, so it was time to throw on the new wheels. I reckon she came up allright. The good Wife is happy too which is a bonus...

They look really good - even better with a body kit.
Would you like a rear spoiler already in that colour? :whistler:

Haven't gone that far on them. I can say once or twice I have thought there is some tyre noise. But the Wife will have kids in the car. Their hyjinks will cover any additional noise......  :whistler:

@cruiserfied  It would, but it will only be in the fleet for another year or so, not worth the effort.

Yeah sometimes you need to draw a line.
I generally draw a line and plough right on through it.

 :lol: :lol:
My wife has the factory 18's on the PD SR, she has very light scuffs on 2 but i did the worst on a 3rd rim  :blubber: :blubber:

My rims however i got for nothing. Ex Genesis Sedan set. Very cheap paint to black them out, but considering doing them properly again if i can scrape together enough cash.

Free is always good.

I saw a set of Genesis wheels, cant remember if they had tyres or not, but were quite expensive.
