fatttty Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 It doesn't take much to put some horrible pitting in polished dishes Jot! its not about their cleanliness, its about salt Yup, my RM's were a nightmare. I can see Joti's point and infact i had the same mind set. Until I built a set of show wheels worth £1400 I changed my mind lol! Each to their own and all that!My new car is always in winter mode lol Looking forward to seeing the new wheels Joti 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp3nny Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 its a crap feeling either way- knowing that your car could look a 1000000x better with the rims that are gathering dust until summer or having them on and worrying about them getting damaged. just choose whichever you fell best with looking forward to seeing these beasts Jot, must be rare if you had to import them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should all know me by know, I like to be that bit different when it comes to mods. Edited November 9, 2012 by Joti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sp3nny Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 it'll be nice to see the change of wheels, just hope you don't get stung with any import tax! i had to pay loads on some parts i bought from the USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joti Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) it'll be nice to see the change of wheels, just hope you don't get stung with any import tax! i had to pay loads on some parts i bought from the USANo, I will have to pay import tax for sure, but I asked the sellers to mark the package value down to less than half of what they actually cost on the customs slip, so I'll probably have to stump up about £60 instead of £140 I am keeping these current wheels too and still like them, I just fancy an alternative look for the car, so will probably swap the wheels over once or twice a year - call it "Winter mode" if you like....
