lightwave Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Ok, here's the first post of the day for me. This is what I call the "pick 'n' mix" wheel setup I've been running the past month or so. I've got my old 17"s up front and Jake's 18"s at the rear. But the Do Luck's arrived on Wednesday and I'm leaving to get them tyred and fitted at Micheldever just now... here's how she looks before I leave. No smart remarks about how I've only bought 2 Do Luck's. There are four. ...more pictures later when they're fitted I hope. If I can find a digital camera.

Nic Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Very nice, really like the double sixes. Any chance you can put them on the scales (front/rear) as I'd be interested in how much they weigh. BTW what is the make of Jake's wheels you have on the back are they AVS? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 im after a set of those in summer too EDIT: lightwave mate - you better put some pics up later when they're fitted!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 BTW what is the make of Jake's wheels you have on the back are they AVS? Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Love the do lucks, the AVS ones look nice too, on a black car anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRoy Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 someones put a bbq on your tailgate mate:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennMR2 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 they look expensive... how much they set you back ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 someones put a bbq on your tailgate mate I've tried to tell him. Spoils the whole car IMO. I would look great with a TRD/RMM rear wing instead of that huge Mechano thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaf Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 nice but they should of been champagne gold in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightwave Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 Looking VERY sexy now they're on. I'll post pics when I can get some - no digital camera today. Anyone live near Chandler's Ford and want to come and take photos at an arranged location? Yes, as Jake confirmed those are AVS rears. I like the gold on black too, but I think I made the right choice of chrome instead of champagne gold. The "mecahno thing" is polished aluminium. I'm going for some kind of theme afterall. Oh, yes. They're expensivo. They were something in the region of £2000+ but they took 4 months since I ordered them at the beginning of December, so Envy kindly threw in the McGard locking wheel nuts and took £100 off too. Bonus. Good service - it wasn't their fault the Japanese suck. I'll try and get some small mobile phone photos for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightwave Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 I LOVE MY WHEELS! The first picture is a really special wheel I thought I'd try for size. I might sell it if anyone's interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightwave Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 Oh, by way of an amusing anecdote, I'm a dick head. I left Jake's locking wheel nut at home, and got to Micheldever Tyres at 0830 and queued for half an hour before I realised. Had to just get the GSD3's just put on the wheels and take them home and do them myself. Idiot. The tyres are 245/40 and 275/35 and were £615.70 - Bargain I thought.

SkyJawa Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Looks great - I love the Hyper Black version If I hadn't sourced R34 GTR alloys, they would have been mine! (but love the R34 wheels and half the price ) Ditto the rear wing comment though I'm afraid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 What suspension have you got, looks nicely lowered, just the right amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightwave Posted March 20, 2005 Author Share Posted March 20, 2005 I know, it does doesn't it? I was well pleased, cos I didn't know how it would look... and the wheels/tyres have helped loads. It's stock suspension black shocks... loves it. These wheels/tyres (mainly the tyres I suspect) have totally transformed the handling and ride of the car. It's AWESOME! And I've not even had the Lance W alignment done yet. ...and the soiler my car marmite. You're free to love it or loathe it. But I'm afraid there's no choice with the wheels - the love is obligatory.
