15x8 4x100/114.3 +15 Hyper silver
15x7 4x100/114.3 +38 Gunmetal

Hey steve, Yeah, Stew was the driver, he has alot more experience at Oran park GP than me.

Yeh I thought it was him. How is your car going with the AVO kit?
Just had a look at the companies website. I see you guys have the new waste gate up and running now. How is it flowing? Did all the CFD pay off?

Actually you are correct +15 is 8" , the +38 is 7".

My bad now lol

I thought they'd be a little stretched, lol

I like the wheels, only got one problem, after christmas (I hope!) i'll be getting either the bilsteins PS999's or the tein SS's, would those wheels create an issue in terms of rubbing when the cars lower?

I was thkning they probably would...

Cheers mate

Depends how low, you should be okay if it's not "slammed", but might need to roll guards.

..

did that offset ruin your handling?

i think the shitty tyres ruin the handling more then anything, but i think they would play a little part, still i am pretty happy with the performance side of things, but it would be intresting to see what its like with better tyres.

as philz said, you may need some guard rolling, but i doubt you will need to pump them out, however with 0 offset you will need rolling regardless and if you want low, you will need some big camber and alot of guard pumping.

ok guys, this is my new baby!

It look's like maxmx5's SE, did you end up buying it?

[RG.net]

That was an old shot - this is how the Boagsmobile looks after his birthday (he wishes!) but now it won't go over the lip in that driveway

altough that is nice.. cmon that has been edited!!

you cant tell?

[RG.net]

thanks sliq! i keep parking it right outside work so i can look at it every 2 seconds, im starting to really like em - car looks alot more aggresive

only prob is they show off the brakes quite a bit n they arent in a fantastic state - new shiny slotted, cross drilled ones coming soon

lower it a few inches, and it will look sick! i also like what i see

Just painted and fitted these 16 inch NB8B Rims on my NB8A, I wanted to tone down the standard BRIGHT silver to match more closely with my Tan Soft Top. Paint Colour is Champagne Silver

[PUR157]

Ahh... you're still a girl at heart... colour coordinating with the best of them...

To be fair from your previous rant though... You're still more mechanically knowledgeable than me

I'm finding it hard to tell the difference though... is it more a matte finish? Or is it that the lighting makes it hard to pick out?

[MX5CHIC]

Yes, I can see what you mean by that, it is a gloss finish but it is hard to tell the difference unless you see the before and after "effect"......... maybe I should see if I can get a better shot.
