Not sure now whether to have the wheels refurbed.
They are limited edition PIAA lightweight racing alloys and are pretty rare.
Should I leave them original with lacquer peel and the odd scratch or should I refurb them and risk them not looking the same (they seem to have a rainbow effect in the sun.)

Lol I hated them 4 years ago but they started to grow on me.

I wish they were the 16" version but beggers can't be choosers.
I've toyed with the idea of getting something else but seems a waste at the minute.
Might change my mind when I eventually get round to buying some Tein coilovers.

Nice car mate.

Wheels definently need to be bigger tho, they look lost in those big wheel arches.

I'm hoping that lowering with coil overs will make it look a little better.

Dunno, didn't look. Pic is from Tirerack, American supplier.

You can get similar styles in the UK from the likes of Tenzo, 5zigen, etc though
