Ooooh new wheels!?

Yes hopefully

Looks mint.......no pun intended can't wait to see what wheels you go for!!

Haha Thanks Mate

Looks awesome. Like the colour scheme. Are you leaving the wing mirrors black? What wheels you getting next?

Cheers mate, Yes the mirrors will stay black i think, as for wheel choice youl have to wait and see

Wow I really love those calipers! Works so well with the car.

New wheels = looking forward to the pics for sure!

Great project this.

Yeh they look better than i thought, was a bit weary at first about doing them, getting the rears fitted on sunday and the system bled..

Brakes look awsome behind the wheels, hope the new wheels are a dark colour to help show them off

Ta ... The wheels i think will stay silver, if they were dark it would ruin the effect they have.. itll make sense when you see them, or i let slip what im going for

 

[JordanMk3]

Silver wheels will look perfect with the green calipers.. If the wheels were darker, I think they would stand out a little too much, and when you have a car that looks like yours, you want the attention going to the imaculate bodywork

 

[Mike R]

Yeh silver would look best on these as they are concaved with a deeper 9.5j concaved rear .. and a dark colour would ruin the effect.. Lol thankyou

 

[drka-drka]

9.5j conclaves rears....mmmmmm sounds familiar! Haha

 

[Mike R]

Like this thread/car, good work.

Cheers mate..

When's the car in mag feature ?

13th of this month mate!

BMW wheels from a 7 series ? Can't remember the name

Your thinking the right way.. dont think there off a 7series though.. There is a brand new "M" beemer near my work with wheels very similar to what i want... Thats kinda gave it away

Ill await the pictures of guesses

 

[Mike R]

Fitted the rear calipers yesturday but as the bleed nipples were both buggered they needed to be drilled and retapped.. the chap that retapped them done the thread to fine so the new nipples wouldnt do up and they just span round and pissed out fluid.. which messed things up big time as they were the biggest nipples you could possibly buy... found a way round it though and bought 2 boiler appliance adaptors of all things, that will thread in to the nipple whole with a courser thread and then the nipple screw it to that.. Hoping this will work when they turn up!...

Getting Fed up with things not going to plan.. especially when its freezing cold and gets dark so early, i have very limited time

 

[MarkWales]

Hope things turn out right for you - I know that feeling all to well

 

[Mike R]

Cheers mate.. They will in the end
