Jake Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 I bought these wheels this morning from Decker on this BBS. I think they make the car so much better than the OE 17'' wheels. They weren't my first choice, I really wanted some Lexus wheels but I couldn't find any. Do we like? New Wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted February 8, 2004 Author Share Posted February 8, 2004 Originally posted by NWS25 oooooo bling Seems a big gap between front wheel and arch, was the pic taken directly after the car was lowered off the jack?? Yes that's right. As you know, it'll settle when I drive it. Actually, the overall the new ones are slightly higher than the tyres I took off the car. After removing the old wheels I had to jack the car up a little more to get the new ones on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted February 8, 2004 Author Share Posted February 8, 2004 Originally posted by dude strange that you wanted the Lexus rims and thats what he bought !!! Yeah I thought that as well. I understand that Nick is a regualr customer of yours and I saw that he has had his bonnet scoop done by you. You must've done a few of them now (Paul, Geeza, Nick,???) - I should get commission, seeing as mine was the first one you did! I need to speak to you about rear spats, I've damaged both of mine driving off a curb. It doesn't look too bad but I know they'll both need removing, repairing, refitting and repainting. Bearing in mind the trouble we had getting the damn things to stay on before I'm not sure what you fixed them on with in the end. It must be bloddy strong stuff because I gave them a right old whack on that curb and they haven't shifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're fitted as tight as that ? WOW I'll ring you in the week and see when you can fit me in.
