Wink New wheels on my poorly Type R...

Had to get them... although the car has a engine fault which means it needs a rebuild... this will only put the engine work back slightly...
I thought while its off the road may aswell do everything... got a FMIC on the way... should be with me for the weekend.... lots of other bits to get before the purchase of a 2.5 block...
Even chucked a picture in of my £300 quid run around which I've just sold for for £700 quid... a 1.2i Corsa on a L-reg only had it 2 weeks... spent less than £150 quid on it, that included the MOT and 6 months tax...
Bought a 1.4i Corsa sport on a P-reg in black, a couple of little jobs to do on it, but should be taxed and tested for Monday next week... moving back up in the street cred... slowly getting towards the Scooby once again...
Anyway, what you think of the wheels... there 18's... got them off e-bay as a wheels and tyre package from Midlands wheels... £695 with Toyo Proxes... they clear my Brembos without the need for spacers...

Thats gonna be a truly awesome car when it's finished, the wheels set it off a treat.

What FMIC have you bought?
