Default Shall I paint them?
Yes or No?

Was thinking about 18" Oz Ultraleggras but could save a fortune getting the standard wheels painted black.

Paint them. Does the Spec D come with te A-line spoiler standard or did you buy it? and if so where from?

It doesn't unless you get the JDM equivalent with the inferior engine which is of course the A-line STi. I bought it from the stealer - £200 pre-discount. Then you need to paint it and the boot as holes need to be filled.

Why not ask Glenn at Revolution if you can borrow them wheels with the 888's on for whilst yours are getting re-furbed and painted.

Swapping the tyres over obviously.

Seems a bit cheeky asking lol Suppose I could get my new tyres from him which would make it less so... and the black wheels nuts I'll need...

I think i am gonna do it as like it. Still nice to get opinions when you are as indecisive as me

When I got a puncture a while back, Keith dropped a wheel & tyre off at my house so I could get sorted. You never know, and as they say, "shy bairns get no sweets" or something like that.

Anthracite looks good but must admit I fancied black (in a wheel sort of way lol).
