    That looks great [:D] :thumbup: Really sets the car off, which looks mint btw!

    Wouldn't mind a black & polished set for my Mk2.

    That looks perfect. Goes just right with the small bumpers and the colour

    You must finish it as soon as you can. :) This will make your car more complete. It's very important how car looks ofcourse, but powerfull engine is essential when talking about overall car's beauty [:D]

    Mim 1900's indeed - look like the rare et25's too! Has a set myself, lovely rims but fragile (watch out for the potholes especially if you are on 45 proiles!) and I had a nightmre to get hold of a spare in the uk! Looks like you may have a slightly wobbly one on the front there judging by the amount of weights on it? Look great with the grey centres :)

    Cheers

    they are the ET25 i believe, dident no there rare a bargain for 150 then. i was worried about the huge line of weights, im going to get them rebalanced and have the weights move to the inside of the wheel. i hate put holes they ruined my g60 steels! propbebly going the refurb the alloys and paint the centeres atlas grey may be[:s]

    Nice rims - I sold a set not so long ago, but they were ET13s. Rare to find a good set as they're all about 20+ years old (based on the cars they were fitted to). They're fairly light too.

    Is that a 16vT lump you're building there?

    they seam to be light i think they were lighter then my g60 steels. got them balanced at the weekend they all balanced up OK. it certainly is a 16vt its a old picture though ill upload a newer one later on. basic specs s2 rods/pistons, s2 turbo and waste gate, modified s2 zorst and inlet mani, g60 management. im not made of money so i had to go the cheaper route [:D]
