well since i am hopefully gonna be getting jagcorsa on the road in nex month so when i get funds and time to get it sorted descided to change the chrome wheels, i never really like the design of them they were just second hand and a cheap way to get chrome on the car.............. so last week dave came and had my old wheels off me for his MR2 and its now sitting on blocks.............
ordered new wheels last week getting bit of discount but still quite alot, sticking to 19x8 inch so can keep me tires!! they are currently being made to specification that i want for the car tho in ITALY, then shipped over! gonna leave pics till they are here and on the car should be few weeks!
i cant wait, other jobs on the car are:-
*corsa radiator with pipe to fit that( currently dont know wot this rad is from but its not really doing it job)
*weld up the hindge on the bonnet cos its about to break
*sort out few lights are not working, eg reversing light is on all the time
*get a new battery cos this holds charge for bout 1/2day.....lol
*fix seats down never done it since had them out to fit ice!!!
*cheack wiring for the rev counter cos thats not working also
*get car moted
alot to do and bit of money to spend!!!! will be nice to try driving it, c how long before it breaks down tho!!
TSW OLD ALLOYs,liked the design just wanted chromes:-
ZENNETTI CHROMES, never liked design but were chrome:-
NEW ONES:- coming soon?????????
i am well excited, just hope they look good on car, bit of a treat for working so hard recently

i preferded design of the tsws on the car, chromes are to cluttered for the car, new ones are nearly how my perfect wheels wud be i think, its will be nice that not to many people will have them also cos they are being imported!!!

sounds good.

are they billet jobbies or a specific design just machined to fit?
