I like those, are they RWD offset or have you fitted spacers ? As much as I like my boring Peugeot steels if I ever get the money I am going to do something similar I think.

Like them! Love the outrageous colour (very Drift scene). Thats definitely something I would do.

Keep it like that. Looks ace.

Cheers for replies there just a set of nasty alloys I picked up and had powder coated can't believe how well they turned out tho!! Unfortunately there jap fitment I had to use 32mm hub adapters to fit which I'm not too fond of but we will see how they will hold up. The front bumper has a trusty Laguna splitter fitted that's where the vents are from lol and as for drifts that was the original plan however as much as I like shenanigans my heart lies with driving fast and trackdays so will be carrying out a lot of work and hopefully be hitting knockhill soon!

Default Er!

They might look OK in solver - or even diamond cut and black, although a mirror finish is a sod for maintenance.

Well, there'll be no mistaking you if I see you in town!
Or better yet, if I see you at Knockhill.
