Matty104 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) Hey guys and girls, Picked up my new wheels today and im stoked with how they look personally, Was a big effort just to get them as i was told they would be ready last friday but the guy just stuffed me round for the week and then i got them and drove down the road hearing a rumbling / scraping sound , pulled over and one side had just rubed the whole time and scrached the hell out of the wheel , so after having a few coarse words to the guy he put a new wheel on and rolled my guards as he should , (you would think that they would know if something is or isnt going to work before the customer drives away wouldnt you) but any way , they are 18" x 7.5" dtm ali 2, with 205 35 r18 tyres with a little bit of stretch in them, ( just going to see how i like the stretched tyres for the time being,) Let me know what you think Matt Edited May 24, 2009 by M3 Cab Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matty104 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2008 Not bad man. What's next on the agenda? Well ive just darkened the orange indicators tonight , but other than that ill just be geting a new sterio and tinkering around with it, rust and respray in the near future also , and stiffen the suspension up alot. after that i want to decided weather i go for some 35% tints, i like them because of the obvious fact that you cant see straight through the car and look quite cool , BUT not sure weather they will suit it and not look to rice. what do you think? Nice, what is the ride like?? Alot rougher that with the bottle caps, but the suspension floats like a boat as it its now though so not to bad , but i do like stiff suspension so will be sorting that out quite soon .
