WHAT SHALL I BUY??
I know this will open up a can of expensive worms but, I have got about £700 to spend on the car and can't decide what to get for it. Any suggestions?

The K sport 8 pots I had off the group buy are very good and a fantastic price
I had a very very spirited drive last night round the twistys and only the standard rears with mintex's pads seemed to not the hammering they were given. The fronts were spot on.

Right guys just took the plunge and ordered these in 7.5x18 with 215/35/18 tyres. Ride quality should take a dive but should look

very nice, I have a set in gold. They seem to have last pretty well, only now am I getting some bubbles in the paint and that going on 3 years now.
What make of tyres did you get, Midland wheels do these for a very good price with yoko's instead of the aweful Toyo's T1r's that other offer.
Not to put a dampener on things but I'd of gone with the 17's myself, I struggled last year to repalce the tyres in 215/35/18. I had to order from Germany in the end as there were none in the country from any brand (Goodyear, Conti, Mitchelin, Vredestein, Perelli) the only make I could get was Toyo and I wouldn't put them on a push bike let a car after the last set I had.

May be a push to have these for tomorrow, Just rang to see if they had been dispatched and was told that they are waiting for the tyres and SHOULD be here tomorrow. But had a free upgrade to colour coded nuts
