Suited and Booted

[henderson]

Hi all,finally got my wheels powder coated and new rubber on today,been waiting to get both done at the same time to save a bit of cash having the tyres fitted,really happy with the results...

the weather has been shocking here in sunny teesside today,pissing it down so never got chance to give it alot in the bends,but i did give it some in a straight line and the grip was vastly improved,pulled away alot better,so for obvious reasons i couldn't wash the tyre soap and muck off when i got home but a few more shots anyway in between storms...

thought about going gloss black for a while but after seeing a set the powder coater had done previous it was just to much for me,far to blingy so settled on a colour he called matt black,tbf i just wanted them the same colour they where and i don't think they are far off..

they where done at a place in stockton called Romax,£196 all in and considering they fitted my new tyres for free,wow! would have cost roughly £70 to have them fitted and balanced at tyre garages,so bonus! only took 6 hours from drop off to pick up as well,...happy days!

Wheels look nicely beefy with the spacers.

the tyres are simply awesome mate,its scary trying to find the limit of them as they just grip and grip and grip,even in the wet,they also look stunning and fill the arches that little bit more with there square side wall and for £496 for all 4 they are up there as one of my best mods...

I back up what Henderson says bout the tyres. I just got a set (Slightly cheaper than Henderson) and really rate them.

Will be testing them on Knockhill on Wednesday so will feedback my thoughts about them on the track.

What size spacers?

They look great.

16mm mate,makes the wheel sit nice and flush with the car,they give the car a great stance

 

[henderson]

What discs are you using they look nice!!

they are brembo black edition front discs mate,same as standard discs i think but with 6 grooves in,no real performance gain to be far,i bought them as my OEM ones where shot and these simply looked better,the grooves do help clean the pads though so there is a slight advantage i suppose

Look fab mate Red calipers stand out really nice behind the black speedline alloys
