New wheels for the ride
 

Hello everyone
Done a few bits and pieces to the ride this month, the wallet got absolutely spanked to say the least!
-The car had a service
- Map got tweaked on the rolling road
-New brake discs and pads at the front
- New wheels
- Arches rolled to fit the wheels
- Braided hoses

I will let the pics do the talking.....

Heres how it looked before...

Opinions welcome, I'm thinking of ditching the mudflaps but not 100% sure yet. I'm much happier with the look of the car exterior wise, think i'm going to add a tow hook to the rear and a bit of carbon, then get it detailed.

I would like to thank Neil and Matt at Slowboy racing for the various bits and pieces they have done recently, Duncan (Race Dynamix) for his mapping skills and also arch-enemy for the arch rolling.

Thanks
Matthew

love it, I wish I could afford them wheels

looks good mate :thumb:

Did you go for the 18 x 10 ;)

Info?
 

Hi Mate
Any info, are they Rota Drifts? and what size tyres etc?
Price and how much was the wheel arch rolling?
Looks top draw mate.:thumb:
Cheers Dave.

were the old wheels bbs jdm sti wheels 5x100? if so pm me as i wanna buy them :D

Truly stunning mate, I want to get a set of grid drifts after Xmas ;) (got a holiday to pay for first though)

Nice lookin rims....

looks wicked mate :thumb:

Love those wheels :D

Best looking wheels ever made IMO.
I have had mine for over a year now and not once I have ever thought about swapping them.
Your car looks stunning mate ;)

looks good mate, black and gold all the way:thumb:

Wheels look amazing. The whole car has a great stance.

Look like it, I'd have stuck with them!

No mate didnt go for 18x10- went for 18x9.5's

They are indeed rota grid drifts 18x9.5's, a 5mm spacer was needed on the front to clear the brembos- so I stuck a 5mm spacer on the rear too for the hell of it lol. The arch rolling was £30 a corner and I needed all four corners doing, probably could of got away with not having the front done but it was sitting pretty low and they would of rubbed. I didnt buy these new, got a good deal second hand but new your looking at about £1100 with a fairly good set of tyres. The tyres on these are 225 40 18.
I hope that helps.

They are indeed 5x100's mate.

That is awesome. Looks the dogs boll*cks!

Loving the choice of rims. I would stick with the mud flaps!

gorgeous

They look absolutely stunning mate I've been thinking about an anthracite set for my blobeye. Do they fit without modifying the wheel arches?

Thanks mate. Depends what width you go for but I wanted a more aggressive look so went for wider ones and needed to have all four arches rolled.

Looks much better, think I agree on loosing the flaps.

Nice wheels, nice stance

Looks the dogs boll*cks!

Loving the choice of rims. I would stick with the mud flaps! just loose the STI logos

Oi!

If eggy would like to stop copying me for a second, I could do with another set ;) Always good to have spares!

So I too am interested in the wheels :D
