New wheels installed today

Work Emotion T7Rs: 19x8.5, 38 offset
Tyres: Michelin Super Sports 235/40R19

Red centre caps a nice touch…

Very happy with results – gives the car a nice presence.

With 38 offset, the fitment is almost perfect :)

Brakes need a clean

So far rides pretty good.... there is occasional light scrubbing at the rear wheels, usually when I go over speedhumps. So i've learnt to take speedhumps at v slow speeds now

Regardless, I'm very likely going to get the guards rolled (rears)

Looks tough, although I am still partial to black rims

Looks great Simon, def worth the wait. I reckon some red brake decals could make the brembos pop a little more. Either way, looking good.

What's next on the mod list?

Heya Sym,

Did you end up selling your old wheels ?

If not I'm still interested.

Rear guards rolled by Nelson from sydneyguardrolling.com.au

Top job, professional and efficiently done. Very happy with his workmanship and no cracks in the paintwork. I would recommend him if you need guard rolling work done.

Koff - yes I'm going to put my old wheels up for sale. Going to clean them up this weekend and take some photos. Local pickup would be preferred though - unless you are planning a trip to sydney or have a friend to pickup for you?

Nice build Simon, even better in person.

I'd like to thank you for organizing the cruise. It was a good turn out.

Nicely done! :)

Gene took a heap of photos, he should have some good rolling shots too from the passenger seat of my car hopefully.
