Talking pimp tints and 19" alloys

Can anyone recommend a place around Newport where I can get some tints done. - Looking to tint the rear windows of MY 53STI.

Also looking to buy some 19inch stainless steel wheels.
Is the feel/handling much different going from 17" to 19"???

Cheers
Aaron

Stick to cardiff for tinting the windows mate. There are a few good-uns arounf the town somewhere. Just having mine done atm so will let you know how they are when a receive the car.

You don't want 19" stainless steel wheels, unless you work for British rail

I'm running 19's on mine which I took off last week to get reconditioned and have new tyres put on, I put the Prodrive 18's back on and whilst it is a bit more comfortable the handling/feedback has suffered a bit.

To cut to the chase - I want my 19's back

Hope that helps

Cheers for the replys guys.

Scrappy - I will wait to hear your comments.

Sammy think I will make the switch - been offered a good deal on these wheels. Just getting them checked to make sure they will fit MY 53STI.

You might not be in luck with those, although you may get them to fit with a spacer but TSL should be able to tell you that.

Nice wheels but I was wright about the Train

Its worth you speaking to les at sunroofs and stripes in blackwood, 07774 119888, he does all of our work and a load of trade work in cardiff, he has a nice demo car with all sorts of tints on it and 19" alloys too!

Sammy - don't fancy selling a set of Prodrive 18's do you - especially if they are OZ crystal titanium variety ?
