good to hear your brilliant result on the rollers today =)

Shame you missed our fun tour though !! it was a great day

we got a group buy on the toll road charge! half price in fact LOL


As far as the wheels go I'd say the ones in your garage look much hotter

Given the overall look of the car, I prefer the current wheels, Steve.

Is aesthetics the only consideration? As I'd put the lightest set of the two on the car.

Well when I carried them out the garage, and stuck them on this afternoon, the Compomotive ones are slightly lighter

Glad you had a good run out, shame I missed it, but I managed to get some more bits done to the car when I got home, ah well will be on the next one tho

You have a load of graphics on your car, therefore taken as a whole the current wheels are less fussy and look better. If you had no decals though, I would go for the garage wheels.

Second set, gotta be, very 22B and less slabby than the first set.

It'd look 10 times better with an even smaller mod change (YOU), get someone else to drive the car and you've instantly raised the street cred 1000% mate :

But if you really want my opinion, I'd go with:



Although they do give the car a slightly more classy look IMO, as oppossed to the Comps, which give it more of the aggressive look you've pretty much gone with. I just prefer the look of the second wheel, very 22B

I have a few pics somewhere of a Sonic Blue with Comp MO's in White

Compomotive will refurb the wheels for you too, at a very respectable price

Thanks for all the comments (except Blueboy's of course )

Change the driver indeed !!!

The PD7's. Neither really float my boat to be honest mate but if i had to go with either it'd be the 2nd set. Refurb the Comps to a nicer shade of gold (or even different colour altogether) and you're onto a winner though.

Keep the Compo's on the car and let me look after the other set (especially if the tyres are decent )

And mow your drive!
