I prefer the old rims. Not really a fan of black rims.

But hey, it's your car, if you like it, that's what counts.

Cheers,

GK

P.S I work in Melton, so I'll keep an eye out for your car. Those rims will make it easy to spot.

What GK said, except that you could have found a better style of rim, surely you're going to put a surround around those gauges, they look like they were just slapped in there. :

I love black rims, but not those ones. Your car, your choice though.

I love the idea of the gauges, looks good. Add a black fascia too and it will be sweet.

i got lovells springs but either the rear has sagged or the front springs were different cause it sits about 1" higher at the front. standard shocks at the front monroes at the back
it rides very comfortably on 20's

Love the stance of your car, sits nicely. Like the nice big dish on the rims,but not the style. But each to their own, and thumbs up for being original!

Also love the bositioning of ur gauges, exactly where I want mine! As stated, you just need to make a fascia and it'll look sweet (now that I think of it, why doesn't someone make / sell one for there? I'd buy one!)
