Missile Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Hello Everyone, It's been a while since I last posted. Offen pop on to browse the Chats, Projects and for sales threads. Even bought a few parts here and there. Unfortunatly I just have not had alot to bring to the table. Until now that is. A long while back I had no choice but to take the car properly off the road. I'd start it up and leave to idle most weekends and make sure the brakes were not seized etc but the poor thing has practically let nature take over. Anyway long story short after all this time I can put the car back on the road and now have a decent amount of spare cash to throw at it. To give me wheel power to get out there and get it back to at least a decent level of cleanliness, i have videod mild progress with the intent of doing a video archive of progress over the coming weeks / months, The videos currently are cringeworthy and awful I am no youtuber that's for sure. But I have now bought a video editing software package so fingers crossed they may start to look at least a little better. In some ways this is almost a project tread / Rejovinating / Restoration. Looking forward to being more active on here and getting the car back to a place it deserves. So far I have only done 2 Videos more to come. Part 7 The car and I have managed to attend many Japfests both Castle Combe and Silverstone. JAE Japshows. Jap meets at Blue water. The F&F meet there just to name a few, Few of the before pic's.

Bought them from a Member on here a very long time ago. Only down side really is that they are 17" so don't really fill the arches as well as my 18".

Noz Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I like the old school look with them, reminds me of Veilside wheels. I have 19s and they drive like shit. I expect you have decent feel with those bad boys lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't beat 19s for looks though. Fill the arches and look great. Edited February 17, 2021 by Missile (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 For sure. Handling compromised for great looks. I think a 19inch with dish looks the best. As 19 spoke wheels seem to just look too big. Would love to see how the 15 inch drag wheels feel. Comfortable as hell I expect lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much. They are cracking tools. Endless amounts of choice regarding what you put on the end.
