just had 4 vredestein ultrac sessantas delivered from camskills for about £480, as they have a special offer on at the moment for them. thats on 18's. if you go to rarerims, they sell good wheels, but your looking at a rough price of about £1400 for a wheel and tyre package, and thats with falkens, and they are a relativley low cost tyre, but pretty good quality for everyday driving. i thought about the same thing, but have decided to go for new tyres and a wheel refurb. you could possibly get a set of rays with tyres off here for around £400 which would last you for 6-12 months depending on mileage, and then upgrade the tyres. don't know if you'll get much on ebay, but you could sell the old alloys.

ok so thats that plan out the window then thinks its going to have to be either flush, or nismo v1/v2. don't like anything else i've seen thats sensible money.

they are in the garage, with the light off, so should be fine

wow, what a selection, i love the esprit and the ings one, i like the rsw from the rear, but feel it sits just that bit too high. and the ings is miles out of my price range, and i'd also have it on the lower mounts. i think the esprit wing would be for me, its quite porsche esq,

i'd say all sunset, as you don't have anything else black on the car (other than tyres) to carry it off, i think that look needs bonnet or roof done, or even just the wing mirrors to pull the image of the car together.

have stood them on there ends at the moment as if they were on a car, with nothing leaning against them, and they're not leaning on anything either. they are gorgeous by the way, i know its only a tyre, but the vredestein ultrac sessanta is a sexy tyre

red stuff pads are the same as oem stock, the yellow stuff is better, as others have said ferodo ds 2500, and i think they do another version which is just below that which is meant to be good. if you have more to spend, try the dixcel brakes form DMS, or endless, project mu, and i think DBA are another one.

true, but Camskills were running special offer at the moment which saved me £80 off the original price, so thought it wise to get them now as i don't know when the deal was due to run out. the plan is to fit sooner rather than later. just waiting on some info, and seeing if i have the spare cash

very true your too good to me, maybe we can snuggle later cheers for that, was really struggling to get anywhere with it, but now i've seen it and the price, I'm not sure if i like it or not. i think i need to see it in the flesh. am looking forward to the CS meet as it will give me a chance to see a variety of setups

looks interesting, but the site is a night mare to navigate as its all in german

this may sound like a silly question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. my 4 new tyres have just arrived but I'm not ready to put them on yet, got to organize a wheel refurb first. could be a week could be 2 months. what i wanted to know was is there a special way to store them? i.e should they be laid on their sides, stacked on top of each other or stood up on the tread. my worry was that with no wheel attached and no air in them that if i left them the wrong way they might deform under their own weight, or am i just being a numpty?

Drive fill up check your oil, smoke a fag read your magazine all whilst there is someone else waiting for petrol behind you, Sounds like an AUDI driver lol if its busy i pull forward and wait 5 more min for oil to re settle. if i was a real audi driver i'd stop at the pump in the car while ii have my sandwich before leaving.

there is someone on here who was after the alloys

oil should always be checked on a warm engine. my trick is to drive and fill up its about a 5 min drive. by the time i've then filled up and payed, the level has settled and i take my reading. its the most accurate method of checking oil level. got taught that years ago, and read it in most car handbooks. i think even the haynes manuals say it in there home service section of a variety of cars i've owned.

the rays are the lightest out of all the standard zed wheels, probably the best for track days.

flying is dead safe your more likely do die in a car crash than on a plane. if your going by cheesy jet, then the most danger your in would be from catching a cold. there planes aren't big enough to be used as an effective strategic weapon by terrorists. if they were going to do something stupid it would be with something bigger, and it would be on a flight heading for the UK not out of it. especially as security isn't as good outside the UK. also my dad is an aerospace engineer, and works for a company that maintains alot of the aircraft and they are very good.

if its not i have one

i suffer the same on one side, its a job i keep putting off, my plan is just to turna dn regrease, but i keep thinking about doing it properly and just doing it once. but i have othe rtings to sort out as well

looking good, think i'll have to try that luvly bubbly stuff. what do you use to apply it with, i have an attatchmwnt with my bosch that is a bottle with a nozzle, is this the correct tool?

Cs does a nismo version kit, for around £600 ex spoiler, factor in maybe another £600 for spraying

its my profession and any thing stupid like that would cost me not just my job, but my entire career for life. and that i couldn't cope with as i love what i do. so i'm very careful never to cross the line. i can have a laugh, but i'd never touch a kid thought i'd share it as i saw the funny side

I know mate! If I was in any doubt of your morals I wouldn't have posted it! don't worry, i wasn't offended, its part of the job i suppose. my mates down the pub nick named me mr tummnus (or tummnus for short) after the goat thing in narnia. i think the link to it was my surname is thompson, apparently to them sounds like tumnus. he had goat legs, i'm apparently incredibly hairy. and he drugged small girls and took them back to his house. and i'm a teacher. i never get some people sometimes, i think they did it because i kept beating them at pool.

i really like those red ones that i've seen, i think they are hinged in the centre as well. more of a permenant feature than a tempory need.

i'm not a gary glitter wanna be believe me you never look at them in that way, its like having 1200 little brothers and sisters, they just annoy the hell out of you. your more likely to want to beat the hell out of them than touch them. plus you don't know where most of them have been. :yuk: :yuk: :yuk: :yuk:

where did you buy it from, and is it an import or uk car. my guess is if you bought from nissan, they probably already knew about it, but used the consult to keep wiping the codes.
