Alright....stand right there, I'll won't be a moment... /JawDroppi :rifle:

[bradc]

I'm guessing you've got the new brakes on as well, and Carsten has your old ones?

How is the squealing problem?

[You See]

Squealing comes and goes...been heaps better since the discs were machined (thanks Carsten) and yep....all oh sooo preddyyyy! :D

[bradc]

any plans for the 18's?

[You See]

Sell them I guess.....anyone interested? ..all perfect except for 1 wheel which has about an inch of rough curbing (all good, but if you wanted to fix it...it shouldn't cost too much), wrapped with 'as new' Goodyears F1s...offers! :D

[bradc]

Would that be the wheel that you damaged while sliding around right in front of me, on those 'as new' gsd3's? :P

[You See]

Blah! :P

[Joanne]

oooohhhh - I see the difference..... there's two empty bottles of wine in the second picture! /drinkswine

Looks good :)

[You See]

Thanks Jo...and yes the 2 bottles are ONE of the differences! :P

[Gly]

he looks so happy!!and underpaid!

LOL!! /pan

[CANDEE]

Nice E9's there UC... :P

[mpau009]

Whyd you change?:thinking: Because of the spacers needed on the older set? The new ones do look nice, but i was a fan of the style you had on.

[CANDEE]

Oh and if you want some spare A046's ive got some sitting in the garage atm.. :)

[Kieran]

So THAT's what UC looks like! Heh!

The changes look good!!:afro:

[mpau009]

So THAT's what UC looks like! Heh!

Our very own asian elvis:smoking: :D

Thanks dude...I'm pretty happy with the look. Don't like the Yokas - too much road noise even with the loud pedal in use! /pan

18's tho did look the part, were just too much of a harsher ride for my liking. The spacers weren't much of a problem, but it was also time for a change - 9months is long enough! :inquisiti ...As for the styling, you can too have that look...wink wink nudge nudge


So THAT's what UC looks like! Heh!
/woot2

[william]

UC, how thick were your spacers?

[bradc]

They were only 3mm. The wheels cleared the brembos but by less than the thickness of a post it note. So we all agreed spacers were the best option.

[You See]

Yup...only 3mm needed for piece of mind on the 18's, but there's no need for them now! :iloveyou:

[william]

If you want to get rid of them I am keen! You can bring them to the workshop day and we can sort something out.

[You See]

Sweet....will do. :D

[Gly]

actually, they belong to me now,

uc hasnt paid his storage fees!!

LOL! :D

[bradc]

haha. I've got 4x 8mm spacers if anyone needs them

[william]

Let us see wether my rims will clear Brembo calipers. Gly, your wheels are wide enough and you cannot roll your arches any more, so keep your gready mits off them!

[Gly]

LOL! gready!
im just claiming the storage fees for the brembos and e9 wheels he stored at my place, and now hes storing these here aswell,

what kind of wheels you got.... make specs etc....


i can role my guards as much as i want,
i have a guard roller :P

i just want a spare set of tyres, LOL!

[Gly]

after a quick look thru my collection of mag catalouges.

they look like an Advanti AVT to me?

17x7? or 8?

if there the 7" they wont fit over brembos
and i dont think they fit even if they are 8"s

advanti list them as a fit for the evo 8 & 9,
but not the 5,6 & 7.

[bradc]

William, wait until you see my evil plan to fit my 17x9.5" with about a 20mm offset at the back and 35mm at the front with 255/40/17's on :D

As Carsten just said, they probably won't fit, but we can try them over Uc's brembo's, we can also try a couple of other peoples wheels over the brembo's and see what happens.

[You See]

actually, they belong to me now,

uc hasnt paid his storage fees!!

LOL! :D
Don't you get me started on Interest!.../pan

[william]

Yes Carsten, they are Advanti AVT 7's. At the moment there is about 30mm space between the caliper and the wheel. Brad's idea to actually see if they will fit seems good. I still want some spacers though and you keep away from them lol!!

[Gly]

As Carsten just said, they probably won't fit, but we can try them over Uc's brembo's, we can also try a couple of other peoples wheels over the brembo's and see what happens.


no your bloodly not!

i spent 3-4 days cleaning and painting and fitting those ****ers,
not letting anyone scratch or chip the paint on them!

go get your car from gary and try them over your brembos!



and 30mm is no where near enough for brembos,
the AVT is not evo fitment according to advanti.

[bradc]

But I'm careful enough to put them on without scratching them :)

[Gly]

ive seen how you jacked up his car...
real careful!!!

and you can barely lift a mag wheel!

stay away or prepair to die!

[bradc]

ohh now thats BS, just 10 minutes ago I had a wheel in each hand, moving them across the shed

[Gly]

the ones off your little red trolly dont count :P

[bradc]

no, but I don't have a little red trolley, I was moving the ~20kg ralliart wheels with tyres

[Gly]

rolling them along the gound using one and each,
isnt the same and lifting them either :P

[bradc]

nope, carrying each of them with one hand :) I know I'm not the strongest person out there, but I can carry a wheel properly
