Montego blue rocks!...

I miss my old Monty. I wish I could have that 5 on the driveway next to the current one.

The Superlites have been on my car for a few weeks now, so I thought I would post up a pic.

Fronts are 15x7 +12 (i think) , Rears are 15x8 +4.

It is going lower in a couple weeks time, when I get the coilovers in.

Hope you all like. :D

Those look awesome green, maybe i am just getting old, but why would you need to go lower? looks vs handling/practicality? personally like that 10-15mm space you have, it looks...right.

P.S. boot spoiler FTW!

Anyone who uses FTW in a post is not old... :lol:

The car looks lower in the photo than what it really is, I was going to drop down a little to get more camber on the rears so they dont stick out as much. Im not going to slam it, just drop a little more untill im happy with clearence of the rear wheels. :D

Great looking rims. I'm not a fan of staggered offset; but that looks schmick.

I haven't ever tried to insert an image. Here goes...

I hope this works.

I recently fitted up these Konig Feather's. They are 15 x 6.5", currently wearing 195/50R15 Maxxis treads. This wheel and tyre combo comes in at just 400g heavier per corner when compared to the standard 14 x 5.5" daisy wheel & tyre combo, and the handling improvement is phenomenal! Can't wait to try semi-slicks! :D
