Very nice! I'm intrigued by the blue hubcaps. I need a set of this type of hubcap for my daily driver (a Hyundai Coupe). Did they come with the wheels or did you get them separately?

Looks good.

Anymore pics?

Did you say the tyres are 215/45/15 T1Rs?

If so, acceleration should improve a tad on the smaller diameter.

Peter

Ill take some more pics this weekend if the weather permits............... now running 225/50s on the back and 215s/45 (i think) on the fronts....the whole car feels better i presume that part of that is due to the effect on the unsprung weight :D also had the suspension set up befor the change and i think i am now reeping the benefits.............they set the heights as the manual says and then dropped it an inch,,,,,,,,mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm big smiles now :D :twisted: :D
