Twilight blue with bronze 15 x 7.5 6ULs and 225/45 x 15 Hankook R-S3s.

Wife reckons it looks "blody ugly"; but I think they're OK.

Why didn't you go 15x8?

With that tyre combo, it's a killer setup.

After reading 19 pages, no one has these. Probably because they're stock, but I've never seen another 5 with them. Maybe not looking hard enough.

The Meisters are on at last 16 x 7 +30 with 205 x50 PS3.
Thanks for everyone’s help with offsets and cap info.
Alex, I will send you your hubcentric /caps hopefully next week. I have to make some more and get them anodized clear to keep them shiny. These caps are on because I couldn’t wait any longer.

Nice one, all you need now is silver tint. :mrgreen:
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Thats a really nice looking car Alex, the shine of her hurts my eyes.
Will be great with Sliqs miesters and maybe a little lower.
Eibach lowered springs drop them about 30mm and are pretty cheap from Shox.com.
I have some near new Eibach front springs I was trying to sell but you are welcome to them if you want and Heismans can reset your back springs and install front and back for around $350.00 with a good alignment.

Hey Richard, I'm sorted for suspension. I have some coil overs to put on but have been putting it off due to work/uni

bit of a mini update, and this might technically be a repost (sliq's meisters) but here are the meisters on!

[Image

will definitely be posting up another update when center caps arrive!
