Well as asked here's a preview of my new wheels



Just need to swap tyres (they are fitted with 195/45's!) and I will be rolling in the 90's again  :cool: (I am unsure if they will need spacers as yet??)

Feel for your pain with the matrix, I hated doing mine on the octavia.

Wheels will look good fitted.

Here's how she sits with the wheels fitted



15" 90's style Azev's  :cool: :cool:

oh and she does have a few clearance issues due to being stupidly low and having 205's fitted so I'm looking for some 195's and 6mm spacers (and a height life but that's due with the shock kit next week)

oh and I have found multiple bodges which has given me more work to do (abs sensors being cut and taped!! airbag slip ring being glued!! so I now have dash lights galore!!)

I would of given up but take it for a blast and the noise (and power which even for a vr feel strong!) and I can forgive the car

let's hope the next suspension/brake work makes it even better!  :whistle:
