There's a guy here in Athens that cuts them and widens them, pretty cheap too.

In order to manufacture the rims you will need 4 stock rims to make 2 wider. The cost in athens, Greece is 100euro for 1 rim, after that there is the painting, a good one is about 50e for 1 rim, and after that the spacers, for my mod 35mm about 160e both. So total cost 460e + 4 stock rims.
First of all you have to deside the tyre size, if you keep stock front size 225-45-18(perfect feeling for me) you have 2 rear options 255-40-18 or 285-35-18(you have to widen your fenders)...
If you need more details about numbers ask me.

Wow, nice build. 10.5" stock wheels? Awesome. Some of the styling is not my style but the fab work and *** kicking potential more than makes up for it.

The engine and exhaust work is great. The wastegate dump is sweet.

Thank you all for your good words. You know that tunning never ends....
I changed my water spray and made it fron aluminium tubes so the spray is cooler and more effective. The position of the pump has changed as well because I belive that it is better to be in a cooler place...

so now I have free space at the front of my engine bay.

and the tube for the water injection is now hidden...


I realy like that you can see the water spray with the bumper on...

Thank you all for your good words...
My new alternator is up and running! It 's bigger than the stock one..(130ah)

A new airbox for press sensors for power fc, water injection, boost controler, blow off valve, fuel press regulator and a boost gauge.

I cleaned up and polished the intercooler... and it is as good as new.


The most importand change is the water radiator. I changed the stock with a new and bigger griffin aluminium .

I will find photos of the radiator..

**** me... that is sweeter than kelly Brook... covered in jam... man, seriously nice work... possibly one of the nicest looking engine bays I've ever seen on any car... obviously nice power and attention to detail. very very impressed and I'll be honest, I'm not easily impressed lol. 1/4 time? That'd be low me thinks...
