Lexx they look mint! I love them! Vredsteins are a good choice - i had them on my bmw and loved them.

Yeh thats a good shout... you can pick up basic model S-Types for about £4k!!

+2 I'd never leave my car at a train station car park... you have to pay for parking too! And i wouldnt get the train to work either. I hate public transport... i'd rather pay more for petrol etc so i can have my personal time.

You know what, i've not seen any of the new top gears for the last year... i got a new cable box and arranged my 'favourites' - but missed BBC2 out... and didnt realise until about a month ago...

im excited for you pal! Im hopefully getting some wheels in about 2 weeks, so will be going through the excitement also.

Old school M5. Think they're about £14k. ..But i'd also go for an ST - i like them

If you're coming from a quattro you'll need to adjust your driving habits or you'll wrap it round a tree! Basically, if the roads even slightly wet, dont attenot to go round a corner over 30mph! Have you ever had a rear wheel drive car before cos they're very different. Im jealous of my mates with FWD cars the way they can throw them round corners and keep accelerating!

AA fly Chicago to Manchester daily i believe. Think its about £700 though ...

Hi, If you cant get a puncture repair done, then you need to replace both tyres. You shouldn't mix and match tyres on the same axle. I would go aftermarket and check out www.camskill.co.uk and get a pair delivered, and then take them to a garage for fitting.

One word - WOW!

Here you go. Just watch out for postage charges veilside spats

Shouldn't think it'd be too hard - the ballast for the hid lights is still present which is the main thing, although iirc they filed down the bulb connector in my car to fit the halogen bulb housing in... but i could be wrong. I would have returned mine to hid, but the bulbs are £45 each so i didnt fancy risking £90 for it not to work!! Nixy, you'll know if they are hid - i believe they flicker very slightly as they are turned on, and they have more of a blueish tint to them - not even a hint of yellow.

Yeh i want these too, though not in Carbon. If you look on eBay.com they have loads on there for about $175... tmjak has them on here...

Chances are it wont have HID. UK law requires cars with HID headlight to have headlamp washers fitted - which the JDM cars dont. So when they get imported, the import garage usually modifies the HID headlight to use normal halogen bulbs instead - thus allowing it to pass the SVA (import test). After the test the owner can probably undo the changes... but i've never got round to it on mine!

depends on your age and who you're insured with though. Direct line dont let you have any modifications if you're under 25... i phoned up once trying o imsure my black BMW, and mentioned it had tinted windows - then they said they couldnt insure me. So i hung up and phoned back a few hours later - and neglected to mention anything else...

Im having the worst day ever at work - so much on!! So i cant wait for tonight so i can just relax with my car!! ... and today someone said to me "we need this finishing today - even if it takes all night." ..not today my friend!!

...right up my street then

Who me? No Tim, he still has bright orange stickers on the outside of his rims that indicate which direction they should rotate Funnily enough they dont work when I'm in reverse gear ???? You've only kept them on cos they match your car havent you?? I've just phoned a company called RnR Auto Design and they're finding out fitment options for me - has anyone ever heard of them? I found them online... Anyway, they sell 19" Dare Hiro wheels - which are the same design as the Axis Hiro's - I take it Dare is the uk name for Axis wheels?? RnR Auto Design dare uk

Mate, that looks brilliant. Im gonna have to look up what this HDR stuff is - cos i want a picture like that!

So.... a set of spacers are what, about £200? So if i get the eBay wheels and spacers i'll still be within my budget. Im wary of spacers though - could it possibly make the clicking rear axles problem worse? I mean extra pressure on the hubs cant be good?

Who me?

Yes mate - 100% what i want. Are they +35 offset?

Hey All, Im going to be buying wheels within the next 6 weeks and have been trawling the net for weeks trying to find the right ones. My requirements are that they must be black, with a lip of some sort. 19", and i'm leaning towards 5-spoke, but i quite like the double 6-spoke look too. My budget isn't too spectacular - i've only got about £1200 max to get them on my car - so thats including tyres and delivery etc etc. Now, im going to be keeping my 17" JDM's as track/winter wheels, so im not too worried about the quality here - this is all style over substance!! Most of the wheels im finding that meet my requirements (price/looks) have an offset of +35... Firstly, will this fit, and secondly, will it look sh!te? Would spacers to push the wheels out be necessary to pull off that look? Does anyone have pics of wheels with a +35 offset? See these links for the type of wheels i want, and can anyone give me a reason not to buy these - they're the style i want. ebay1 ebay2
