Te37's are my fav wheels aswell but just way too expensive.

I love the white ones, but would buy the black with red lip or Gunmetal with polish lip.

White wheels don't look right on a black car anyway, in my opinion, white wheels on a red car is the best looking combo.

I remember those white fat fives with the red lip being for sale, really really wanted them but no cash! :lol:

Thanks, The brakes are definitly worth it, are you going for bigger calipers then?

As much as I'd like to see what the TE37's look like I can't buy them just yet, they are a good bit down on my list. After, Flat Faced Valves, Spoon Headgasket, New manifold and exhaust, fitting cams and a remap. If we get a chance though it may be nice to get a few photos with them on. :D

Unforunatly I haven't done much visibly since you last saw her, although I have changed a few bushes, fixed the hole in the exhaust and changed a few other parts for the mot.

Nope, if I get them, I want the real thing, While I was in the bodyshop today making the welds on the crossmember neater I saw the perfect colour for my wheels, a very nice metalic silver. I told Alan to keep a note of the paint code to use when I get mine done.

I love your car!

But don't love your wheels. I hate the EG VTi wheels, on EVERY car. I don't know why Honda designed these. Please don't feel attacked at all!

you car is tight as hell, with one hell of an engine in it! Getting some other wheels will make it a killer IMO.

Got some Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's fitted on the front yesterday. :D

First impressions are good but its too early to say properly as they are not fully scrubbed in yet.

They look great though. 8)
