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

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

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!

Yup, gold/bronze rims look best on Velocity Red; anything else just looks "Meh!" IMO.

I got new wheels :D haha

Got my Enkei RPF1's fitted today with RE002 tyres. They are 16x7 +43

The difference it makes to the weight of the steering is amazing, feels so light now compared to the stock 16s.

Personally I like it. But the wheels do need something subtle to balance it all ... eg if the number plate had been white text on red, it would all look great.
