Especially the colour matching, just need some brembos to fill them up :lol:


Hey thanks for the kind words Daniel. Yeah color matching was always going to be high on the priority list. I reckon I have chosen well considering the options available for these cars. And yes, I know there is room for bigger brakes lol.

I added the full set of wheels to my insurance policy in case of damage or theft. Costing a whole $12 per year extra to cover.

Did you just increase your agreed value?

Also your bike looks great :)

Yeah I increased it by the amount of what the wheels cost me.

Thanks. Yeah I love my bike. Need to get out for a ride this week.

Looks great mate!! Fits the look/colour of the car really well. Nice photography, the paint job on the car looks sick in the pics too, really metallic sheen. Worth the wait well done :) Two thumbs up :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

Not sure what u mean. The ride is firm for sure. Im used to it but mrs doesnt. Disc brakes?? Not sure what u mean there.


I think Adrian is referring to your road bike... i.e. it's not a MTB with suspension and disc brakes.

Oh right. hahaha. I should have known. Yeah I am used to no suspension on the bike, disc brakes are a luxury. I will be getting a bike with disc brakes next.

Sorry mate, I was referring to your bike. I just put disc brakes on my work bike and can now stop in the rain. Had a few scary moments with just a rear rim brake.

Car is looking good though. Taking your time to find the right wheels has paid off.

Thanks mate. Yes I understand the bike comment now. My KONA Hybrid has disc brakes and I know of the great braking ability it has.

Yeah I didnt want to rush into a set of wheels just for the sake of it. Wheels can make or break a car's appearance. Even though 5 spoke wheels arent everyones cup of tea, I feel I have still given the look of the car justice and not settled for anything gimmicky.
