A man and his rims ...
Looks good !
It's all about personal choice and
I expect those from the "Gotta Be All Black or Naught" camp would be reeling back in horror. :evil:
I say - It's only paint people!

Cheers and welcome.
Looking forward to your next mod adventure.

Funny how people have different tastes.
I suppose it explains why fat girls get shag***!

wow they actually looks really good in contrast to the white car and goes well with mirrors.... but yes i think white will look much better :D

love that rear dish too :evil:

have you spaced them? is yours lowered? rims with your ride height looks much better than my current 4x4 height lol
Had the lips done in a diamond finish with a clear coat sprayed on as protection, wasn't brave enough to go with the AW :D

Thanks Theivz, sorry about the thread jack, it was not my intention :thumbsup: I've been looking for this design rim for a long time, could not get them here in SA :headbang: so ended up importing a set from BM Auto Sport in the UK.

I dealt with Carrie at BM autosport, as they would not ship to SA, I had to arrange everything from my side, Carrie was very helpful throughout the process. I'm just happy I've finally managed to get a set :D

Sorry for the long gap in posting or updating this thread. Life has been a bit manic. So after doing a few mods a group of car enthusiasts called URBAN RACERS headed to Spa and the Ring last summer (see pics below). Amazing trip and thoroughly recommended - especially Spa! We had the pleasure of meeting Chris Harris at Pistenklause pub by the ring - genuinely nice bloke. He was racing the following day but was nice enough to have a quick chat and take a pic. There are a couple of pics of my car on the ring (just trying to survive and get some nice pics :D ). Hope you like :driving:
