I still can't believe what a transformation fitting those rims has made. It really does look sweet-as now mate I mean clearly most of it's down to where you fitted the rims
For an idea of context, when it's tuned better, that engine configuration should see that car eat an original T5 alive. cheers James |

Hi.
Nice job!! Even though I know it is true, I never fail to be impressed by the amazing difference simply changing the wheels makes to a car! Cool. Done a great job on the bodywork too. Looks like some real TLC went into that! Dan. |

Hi,
That was quick. Certainly looks the part. Are they much brighter than standard? Cheers.
