What other factory option wheels are there if you get rid of the bbs?

I almost ended up with an r36 passat instead of the lib, I love the note so much. Never seen a white one either

As Snowball said, lots of lube required but its way faster than the bar.

I knew you'd be upset Jase. The kit is slightly larger than current so I think 18's will fill it out better and I really like gold rims. Keeping sort of factory though, Im looking to go with a set of the RAYS STi rims in the rarer 18"....

Oooo yum!

Before I got my rims, I was on the hunt for these and could never find a set in 18's

The clay clothes scratch paint easily. Be careful. Looks like someone 4000 grade sanded the paint if you dont use lots of lube. Heaps quicker but.

yep - I find giving them a quick squirt with a hose after every pass helps alot.

The crunchies stay on the surface with a cloth - I think they tend to bury themselves in a bar.

When Mark sells these gold wheels in 5 weeks I might need to smuggle some cash out of the kitty for them.

I find the lack of high resolution wallpaper sized photos disturbing. Please get this thing professionally photographed!

The gold wheels will really compliment this car I believe.

But let's face it, it's going to look shit hot no matter what you do to it.

Plan is to have them repaired/repainted due to very light rash in the same gold but with a little more metallic in it.

Decals will be left off and RAYS 17 hex nuts added.

Im hoping this will nail the overall look as im really over changing rims.

Got to say though.... the Genome with the Prova centre is aural pleasure. We cut the flange and 2" step down pipe off the Genome and matched it with the 2.5" Prova centre.
