Quick poll, how old are you lot ^

I've always been one for wild wheels, every white car has either grey or black wheels,

Tbh i Just like messing.

So far I've had three people stop me asking if its for sale, two actually gave me numbers lol.

I really want new wheels, something special

If I could get £400 for the grids. Keep they tyres it would find the new set, but till then ill keep changing colours, hg don't come cheap haha.

Next month green, the month after red

I've also had the car remapped by Andrew Carr today, it's so much more smoother and the torque is immense.

I think they look okay, it's good to be different every now and again

The only thing I find naff is the Spec C sticker, if that's what it is

The rest looks like a job well done

Cool, I did wonder but too small to see on my phone

It's as far from a Spec D as you can get but they're not that great anyway so why not use one as a cheaper starting block to modify. Makes perfect sense seeing the extent of your plans now

I quite like random coloured wheels but prefer the purple on the xxr's above.
A couple more colour options for you





And white on white does work


But I think gold is my favourite at the minute


Let me know if you want me to remove all them pics from your thread

Yeah I did. The grids came up at such a good price it was rude not to.

Like I say my car, my wheels etc

Don't like its not my problem

The wheels I want are not in the uk. So that's the problem.

And most uk suppliers know **** about wheels lol

If you were thinking of selling the rims I would be interested. Btw the way it's your car and if you are happy with how it looks how gives a toss about what others think. I personally like the colour which is different to most that are on he road.
