When i bought them, they came as red wheels

, wasnt the look i was going for so sprayed them satin black with the help of tommop. Very happy with the way they turned out.


Currently dunlop tarmac rally tires on there and this friday my Kumho Ku31's will be put on

Being 14 x 6 they should be light, but not as I thought they would be

Might be placebo affect but they feel lighter then the stock wheels. Infact with the stock wheels the steering feels ALOT more heavier. The brand are Black Racing. But i cant for the life of me find there website

tyre pressures also play a massive role
More opportunities have been lost from indecision, rather than wrong decision.
