Raj,

I had missed this topic and kept going back to your topic about changing the wheels to see pics.......well I got here in the end.  The brakes look outf'ingstanding, the wheels, well, I prefer the Previous ones, I just feel they made your car standout more in a crowd, where as now, I'm not so sure.  Hell, what do I know?  It's what you like and that's all that really counts.  Enjoy  ;)

Cheers Don.

As I said the wheels are very marmite and each to their own for sure. They do however look better in the flesh.

It works well with the colour coding Raj, not sure a standard car would pull it off but that looks great ! Your rear brakes are bigger than my GT3 fronts !!

Raj very nice wheels and they remind me of the ones westside had on his X6 and I like them also.

The brakes well all i can say is I'm just envious of them.

Thanks. I did do a deal with Kav on the 22's he had but didn't happen in the end. That would have looked good me thinks for sure.

How did I miss this?

Love the rims Raj, will undoubtedly be a nightmare to keep clean but hey, who cares when they look that good, get the Billbury wax out :-))

As for the brakes, Hell brother, they are awesome.

A totally impressive mod once again. 

What's next?
