As the Uk's biggest tart.. I am pleased to say that the 19" Rimstock Diablo's are now on the "Trouser Express"... or "Pimpreza" as it is now known .. pics to follow!

What was amazing however, was that they went STRAIGHT ON!! .. No arch contact The wheel is a pretty funky size. It's only a 7.5j Rim and pirelli now do a 215 width tyre in 19" so they're only the width of many 17" combo's..Rock on!!

Obviously the handling and ride are out the window!! .. but tart's don't care. The 16"'s are always there for country lanes

See you at the meets!

Cheers

Trouser

I'd love to see the piccies of your car now!! Maybe not, it might make me spend EVEN more money!

Beaded seat cover?? hmmm... I can probably need you one from a mini cab this weekend!!!

Dont worry mikee!.... i've got the lads machining down a couple of bin lids to fit.... I think once they're cross grooved and drilled.. should fool most people!

Christian.. It handles a lot better than i thought it would actually!! on good surfaces the turn in and precision is just awesome!

Only problem is they take three weeks to clean

cheers
