show us your wheels
Volks replacing Momos (page three of this thread). Now have Garrettb16's quandry ie get rid of the gold? Gunmetal, silver or yellow - any thoughts?
Bridgestone re001's are as good as everyone says they are. Amongst all the plusses cant get over how quiet they are!

Peter, Yes they are the Chapparals from R Speed; Currently $122 Us each plus $380 Us for postage.(around $1000aus)They were $149 when i bought mine a couple of years ago!!!!!
They are an excellent wheel, great finish but a little heavier then the ROTA RB's 7.2 kg versus 6.3 , I think.I have not noticed any problems with the extra weight.
The Rota's are about $730US9 (830 aus) inc freight and nuts from 18 Racing, and are lighter. Finish is good.
couldn't go wrong with either in my opinion,

Very nice car. Although I dont think that gold wheels go really well with yellow paint. ( Gold seems to be made for green, red, black cars ). Black spokes or silver would be better IMO.
