Stock No More - New Rims
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hi all!

Last Friday was my first meetup and I must say it is quite an eye opener. Really help me decide on what I want and what I don't :p Thanks to all the bros for showing me the stuff.

Anyway, this is my first step into the dark side - 18/7.5 Gramlight T57-RC rims with 225/45/18 Goodyear tyres. I really like the rims with the red lock nuts :D After the change, there is less body roll and the car felt tigher going into turns. The car also seems to have extra 10 hp! Best value for money mod imho ;)

Bro Kenny, sorry (abt resisting your poison :o) but I am probably not getting the MS spoiler at the moment. Like the clean look of the car as is... maybe when the car has a mid-life crisis :D

its alright....you won't be able to take it for long anyway.

I am just a jedi in training...still not strong enough. thus unable to 'force' you to give in. I'm pretty sure that in another few weeks, sith lord(you know who) and all will be involved.

nice rims by the way....and the beginning of many more things to come.

Mine is from Leong Seng. I went to Yap Bro before that to see see look look. They have this rim but don't have 18" one... so no fight :rolleyes:

My first choice is actually Enkei RP03. Leong Seng deals with Enkei but that rim is too popular so no stock for a long time... :(
