Yeah there the same sizes.
The rs in the pic has real mags on it (mega money) he bought the car with them allready that color.
I was thinkin about havin them painted, but iam not certain.
The stickers are comein off soon, gettin a lick ov paint down each side.
I got them off e-bay, dead easy to fit 20mins.

Thanks sean, i think it looks better in the flesh than in a pic.
Looks cleaner and fresh, imo.
And more importantly different, every ones got fake cup wheels.

I like d90,s as long as the ride height is nice and low.
With the correct tyres, gotta have that expensive rubber for em to look just right.

I have to admit that the car does look very good in the picture Sean has taken. The only real difference is the stickers are off. The car looks very good the way it is now and I was wrong earlier. Enjoy the sunshine and keep it out of that volcanic dust.

I like that, white so fastest colour & the wheels make a change fro the cups you normally see.

Now you mention it Jim, maybe it is the big RED calipers that make it look so good? :lol:
