They look nice:thumbup: Shame NZ have a minimum ride height. You could do with a 20-30mm drop, but at least you won't have salt thrown at them:D

Well.. no actually

If I fit coilovers in NZ I have to have a separate certification on the car to allow it to pass the WOF (MOT)

So coilovers are kind of a pain. Plus it's already only a few mm over the NZ minimum ride height of 100mm.

Ahh man that sucks, it looks like its crying out for some lowering :(

Get some heavy stuff in the boot n spread it around the car a bit

I'm liking your choice in the end! looks the dogs!

I just found a brochure to double check.

Official ride height on my car as standard is 119mm

H&R Springs combined with Koni FSDs lower the car by about 15mm

The legal limit is 100mm :D

Just need 2 grand (NZ) + fitting. Hmm. Best pay for the wheels and tyres first I think!

WOW, they're a little different to the Norm :thumbup: Personally I think they would have looked better in a 17" with a 225 tyre as I think that might have made the wheel arch gap look a little smaller. Only my opinion though.

Lookin good. Now I've got a notion for black or anthracite wheels but on a black car:confused:

Mmm, 6-pot Brembos

No need to go that far; surely the 312mm VAG conversion is all that is required.

Just downloaded a few pics from my phone:

I have just found these, MAK XLR wheels, in the Demon Tweeks catalogue listed as lightweight only 7.3kg (for 16" I guess) and from £165 per wheel; these are serious kit. Top Man.

- 16" from 6,800 Kg

- 17" from 7,700 Kg

- 18" from 8,700 Kg

Wheel Pornography:D

Very very nice

Nice. And should be easy to clean

Very nice wheels, suit the car well

Good choice

and they even had a lift that matches the colour of your car, how cool is that :)

Just a point that's puzzled me. How did they fit the tyres AFTER they fitted the wheels?

So it's not just Liverpool that suffers from this problem .... at least the Kiwi's use a ramp and not a stack of house bricks

Actually the car sat in Liverpool for 6 weeks before shipping and KEPT its wheels!! :eek:

On Topic now ... it looks great on those wheels Rob, really suits the red, car's looking nice and clean as well

What was the alternative; it got painted silver and sold to McLaren?

:confused: What?

:confused: What?

You've never really heard the one about how Ferrari heard how fast Scousers could do a wheel change, hired a group of them as pit mechanics, and at the first practice stop they changed the wheels and tyres in 3s, and 10 minutes later they'd sprayed the car silver and sold it to McLaren?

No need to go that far; surely the 312mm VAG conversion is all that is required.

They are 312's already.

And Rob ................you are a tart:P

Nice wheels Mister
