It really s@@ts me - if he wanted a chrome or different one he would have done it like that - why do people always have to comment - if you don't like it don't comment --- it's not your friggen car and everyone has different ideas about there own car if we didn't we would all be driving commodores

there's such a thing as nice, tasteful chrome wheels.... like the ones you see typically on JDM "VIP" cars for example... but mostly, it depends on whether the style of wheel matches the car

the ones he has on that car better matches a buick you see here in a ghetto than an astina, srsly

Well, last night, went to buy some chinese, drove home. In my street i break and it locks up. Rip a mad ass skid in my street. Wouldnt let go. Got out. This is the result.



Not happy. If i was on the motorway it could of been a serious accident. My mechanic will be hearing from me on Monday. Not cool. It also scratched the **** out of my wheel.

So today i fixed it. The bolt just came out- gone. Got another one, bolted it back up TIGHT this time.

Then while the wheel was off i tried on my ones from the SP20. They're so tiny! So much wheel arch!





Then went with dad to sign the papers for his new car. He's gone german.

wtf? were the brake pads ever changed before?

well now it's a perfect excuse to use those lighter and better looking wheels from your SP20, then lower the car!

When its had its dr appt last week i got him to machine the rotors as it was shuttering. The bolt was clean gone. Not stripped or anything. I took the other bolt out and it was finger tight. Someone forgot to tighten it! Someones gunna be in trouble! I got another bolt and did them tight. I checked all others and they were tight.
