Wink Some New Rims

My good old faithful Prodrive PD7's were really showing signs of age now, being over 4 years old they are in dire need of a refurb. But because of the brakes i couldn't just fit a set of 16's while I had it done.

Anyway I managed to get myself a set of Super Legs in the right colour too! (Sorry PS Lewis if your reading this it is true Gold + DBM is meant to be! )

Not the greatest of pictures, plus the car is filthy, but you get the idea!

Nope Marc they are the Godspeed 335mm conversion, which uses the standard calipers etc...

I actually do have the Prodrive 330m brake kit sitting in the lost, but these do what I need on a daily basis!

Tarty Tango reckons there isn't much left to do on the car

Not going to get the skirts etc colour coded, I would have them in the paint shop every couple of weeks where the stone chips etc would be bugging me!

I actually cant think of anything else that I want to do to the car now though!

Hmm.....

Different interior (leather or buckets, what about a flocked dashboard)
Tints
Graphics
Lexus lights!!!!
Colour coding (I never had an issue with stone chipes with 34k on the silver car)
Coilovers (if not already done, ready for those trackdays)
Geometry stuff (drop links, lower braces, upper strut braces, ALK, ARB, bumpsteer removal, etc)

And I believe you still have a 2.0 litre block with standard turbo!

All the geometry and everything is done Sturt braces are on etc... bumpsteer is long gone!

I do still have a 2.0 block with a standard turbo but all the time I am using this car every day thats how it is staying...so in a few weeks when I finally decide what 'second' car I want i'll start the real power mods

Well, should you decide to the contrary I'll give them a good home.

Believe I'm reasonably local-ish as well so pick up not a problem.

It's obviously fate then, those wheels were meant to be with me.

In all seriousness if you do need to find alternative accommodation for them, a set of PD7's needing a refurb are just what I'm after.
