Default New wheels for the ride

From this.....



To this....


What does everyone think?

I'm thinking of ditching the mudflaps but not 100% sure yet. I'm much happier with the look of the car exterior wise, think i'm going to add a tow hook to the rear and a bit of carbon, then get it detailed.

I would like to thank Neil and Matt at Slowboy racing for the various bits and pieces they have done recently, Duncan (Race Dynamix) for his mapping skills, arch-enemy for the arch rolling and Anger on here for supplying me the wheels.

Thanks
Matthew

They look awesome, fill the arches nicely and look very menacing indeed!!

I want them back.... Looking spot on Matt

i would keep the flaps as the wheels being wider, they have a habbit of throwing stones up the side

i'm not sure they'd look as good gloss black. they're stunning wheels, and they get noticed in gold. black would just make them 'blend in' too much imo.

I had it mapped on the road initially about two months ago when I had the older wheels on, Duncan then tweaked it on the rollers as I fitted an aps cai kit.

Thanks for all the comments guys, originally I was going to buy a set in bronze or black but when these came up for sale I couldnt turn them down.

The car does feel a bit wider if you get what I mean and also a bit heavier cause the wheels are a bit heavier.

As has been said these are definately the wheel of choice for the newage.

I like the look of black cars with black wheels, but with those Rota's you want them to stand out: so I'd say leave them gold!
