Wheels look great, on your car, not sure.. but as said I think it's just because they look a tad small and also agree that's it because they need to be spaced out a bit.

I prefer the original wheels, sorry.

Don't be sorry, everyone is entitled to their opinion. As I keep saying i'm still not sold on them :undecided:

Spacers will be on the way soon enough one way or another :smiley:

Also after spending a good 4 hours at the wheel today i'm thinking i'd regret selling it at the moment :undecided:

I'm hoping that another 6 hours of driving tomorrow will confirm that I should keep it :smiley:

I have always liked them, wanted a set for mine, they can look better in grey or dark silver.

Spent an enjoyable day at The Doc's place with Bobbarley yesterday and learnt a number of things:

1. Octane Booster doesn't work
2. Falken tyres smell quite a lot when put on a rolling road (and also get nicely sticky)
3. I made slightly less power than last time (the transporter was also down on bhp so temperature could have played a part?)
4. I want Craig's MK6! *Edit* Really I think this has shown me that it is in fact time for me get rid of the Mk3, I need something newer.

A few pics:

wouldnt get a mk6 dom, i drive one almost every day a GTd, and i cant get to love it at all, abd the build quality is not much better than a focus  :lipsrsealed:

yours is a good 3, be a shame to see it go
