New (second hand) track wheels..

Some pics of new wheels, the GF snuck a few shots off as I was about to head off for a ride, so I though I would take a few more of the car and new 'supposed' track wheels.. I say supposed as they are growing on me and I might leave them on for a while.. I need the carbon rear diffuser now, just to balance out the black a bit.. I needed to put some 3mm spacer plates on to clear the front Brembo's.. I probably could have got away with 1.5 to 2mm plates but I am not sure if they make them that narrow..

Nice colour scheme Adam! The red ring around the wheels match nicely with the red Brembos! :D

Yeah I was surprised at how good the colour scheme turned out .. Brakes were a DYI. Can of red & white heat proof paint cost me about $30.. Definitely worth it. Up close the 'Brembo' looks a little dodgy though.. One day I will get the proper stick on decals.

Yep I bought them off him.

Not sure how much they lowered her. I have the TEEN adjustable coilovers, so I have had them raised and lowered to suit wheels/tyre profile. It looks like she can be lowered another 10mm for these wheels though..

Emmm Yeah. I will have to look at that when I buy the proper stick on decals.. I took a photo of brakes, then printed it out and cut out a stencil to spray the "Brembo" on and I was too lazy to cut two out.. So one had to be upside down..
