Those photos don't do it justice :)
Looks much better in real life - I think there was talk of a SE photo shoot in Perth

Finally arrived from the US. Couldn't get tyres fitted in time, so more photos next week.
Decided to test fit it today after a wash/polish.


Konig Flatout? Had them on my last NB. Loved them.

Have some AO50 225 50 15s sitting in the garage that would look great on those :mrgreen:
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Still keen on that! Between you, me, Swordfish and Okibi that's all the colours variants for the SE which would look great in a photo.

I didn't weigh them to be honest, as they arrived with the tyres
All wheel spec databases list them as around 4-5kg, but more towards the lighter end if you know what I mean.
They are very very light.
Specs are 16x7 +33
The centre caps only fitted the fronts so I had to order caps for the rears, as the stub axle nut/bolt protrudes too far out for the low profile centre caps.
Note I have just added a set of ssr type c in 15x7" for use as my track set ;)

Wheels are very much a personal thing, I love these in this colour, and may decide to paint my (new) black ones in the same colour, or in bronze.

Yep flatouts, they're on the car but I haven't had a chance to take a photo. Only just got the car running!

Went for another road-tuning drive so quickly snapped some photos on my phone. I promised Shipporter I'd take some.

One day, I'll use a proper camera... Been meaning to take nice photos 2 years ago!
