Rich.2211 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 do you collect wheels? lol It's starting to look that way! I just fancied a change for 2014 and I've always loved the look of these wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 New wheels have arrived today courtesy of The Speed Factory in Preston. 18" XXR 521's in 8.5J ET25 & 10J ET25 finished in Chromium Black (which pictures seriously do no justice to this awesome colour!). Next job is to order some tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzi Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Very nice mate. Will you need to roll your arches for these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 They look lovely Rich. Cheers Jamie As do yours! I won't be fitting them for a couple of weeks yet whilst I decide on four reasonably priced tyres. I've read very good things about the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta so think I will be going for the following.. http://www.oponeo.co.uk/tyre-details/vredestein-ultrac-sessanta-235-40-r18-95-y-xl#47658419 http://www.oponeo.co.uk/tyre-details/vredestein-ultrac-sessanta-265-35-r18-97-y-xl#46832552 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Very nice mate. Will you need to roll your arches for these? Cheers! Fronts should be okay as I'm not crazy low, just 40mm drop all round. Rears would need rolling but my arch lips are already shaved back from when I ran my previous wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDukesy Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Looking good buddy! As you say, pictures just don't do the colour of these any justice! Look forward to the fitted pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Two niggly jobs out the way today Fitted new OEM boot rubbers from Toyota along with the all new updated bolts. Turned out to be a doddle once the screws were heated up with the tip of a gas soldering iron. Also cleaned up the area underneath the boot rubbers to ensure no crud was hiding. Also a huge thanks to Littler for supplying me with a heater vent free of charge after I butchered the last one to fit a 60mm boost gauge that turned out to be faulty. Small things but they will make the car that much nicer day to day once it's back on the road, as after all, this was and hopefully still will be my daily driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest k3vin Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Reminds me of that old saying 'wife in the kitchen- turbo kit in the bedroom' or something like that. Just remember, if you're caught, the first words out your mouth must be 'this isn't what it looks like.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
