All the looking around, working out width's, offsets etc. The last 7 weeks of sweating on if they will fit.

The good news is I got my calculations right and they are on !

So please be upstanding for the Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's, shod with Falken FK452's

Here's a sneak preview......car is too dirty for anymore pix :smash:

And more importantly, Shaz is happy /YMaster ......and no more spacers to fit over the KAD's. Car is in Thursday night for the Brembo rear conversion.

Looking good Pete. Will be even better when the car is as shiny as the spangly new wheels.

I love black wheels :thumbsup:

Hmmmmmm pleasantly surprised. Was a little concerned that black wheels on a black car may be too much, and that they may tend to disappear. But looking at that pic, my fears were unfounded. Nice one:2thumbsup :2thumbsup

It won't stop there ! This car is going "back to black". The Ralliart logo's are going, and the windows are going to be dark tinted.

Not sure if it will be done before JF2, but plans are afoot.

Are you getting some underbody neons and interior strobes to go with it all Pete? /lol

Well funny you should say that.

My next idea was on a Kill Bill theme /help - a Hattori Hanzo sword across the two doors, and "Black Mamba" written underneath.

Shaz looked at me in a funny way when I suggested it :oops:

She who must be obeyed has had enough of them. They have been on for over a year and she feels it's time for a change :sad3:

nice look, the bright red brakes will stand out nicley with the all black. I have a black legnum with full black tints, i got gold 18" at the moment but was considering having them powder caoted black. Yours like graet. I would have to do the brembo convertion to complete the package, Oh and 100,000,000 years of polishing.
One problem with full black tints is at dusk/night you can not see anything out the rear window apart from headlight. you can't tell if it friend or police.

Yeah, not sure if we will go too dark, or even do the rear window. Shaz is getting a quote today hopefully

Looking Solid mate!

I would go for light smoke tints all way around, looks smarter then dark.

Doesn't look like there is much clearance at the front over the brakes. I remember with Uc's car when we first put brembo's on over his Enkei RPO2 18x8" with 35mm offset there was less than 1mm clearance, you couldn't actually put a piece of paper between the caliper and the spoke on the wheel. He was worried about heat expansion causing the spoke to hit the caliper so he put some 3mm spacers on.

There's plenty of clearance Brad, 2mm more than I had before with the old wheels and spacers.
