What do you dress your tyres with Andy?

The blokes at Bob Jane T-mart dress them with their own brew when they installed the new tyres
I had no idea what it was, but it sure looks great
Sorry I can't be of much help there

Sliq, I was at Homebush Bay Drive yesterday arvo (Wednesday 16th May)I was heading towards Canterbury Road
Was your car beside me at one point on the road?

Out with the old...

In with the new...

These are just 2 crappy pics I just took in the garage... may get some better pics tomorrow night

Thanks to Green_Comet for the new shoes, It feels wierd going down to 14\" rims after getting used to riding in 17's since Ive owned my MX5.

The bumps on the sydney roads are still there on the 14's with 185/50 profile but they aren't as harsh. The same bumps with the 17s 205/40 would have sent shivers through my interior (which I thought was normal).

There is one downside though... the car is now a LOT lower than when I had the 17s... Speed humps that weren't a problem before (I used to hoon over the ones @ work) now require me to drive sideways to clear it.

With that said though, the steering is lighter and it actually feels like the acceleration of the car has improved slightly (VERY slightly).

All in all... very happy with the purchase and more pics to come soon!

so what was wrong with those gold rimms? Too heavy?

of course its a personal preferance....Minilites just don't do it for me.

looking good Raymo

, the +14 offset on the Watanabe's look great, gives the car a better stance..

Im back to running some old astina wheels for the time being, they are +35 offset. Feels really weird driving now, alot less stable..
