    Re: new wheels

    nice car mate! very tidy

    they are nice looking wheels, but i too prefer the turbines, but its all down to personal taste really

    looks like they were a bugger to balance with all the weights on em!

    Why does the wheel need that many wheel weights? Are they all small sizes?

    was it a long weight for them to be fitted?

    er....well if you had the wheel off then maybe you could use it behind the weight so you wont see it,but not ideal stuff really,clear silicone is your friend.

    I'd hazard a guess they actually thought if I use the larger weights they'll hit the caliper and the owner wouldn't be too happy about that IMO, unlike the said nobs who didn't think about that when balancing my wheels
