That aeromax process is very interesting.

Pics are on the way.Today hasnt gone as planned and im a bit mardy but just uploading pics and will explain why once my bottom lip stops touching the spacebar.

Right here we go.

The wheels:
Borbet C 7.5 16" 4x100 ET30-205/45/R16 Tyres



Spangly new low level jack for the occasion



So i fitted 2 on one side and stood back and looked and wasnt impressed in the slightest.I know the tyre profile is high so it would probably benefit from having a set of 195/40/r16's on but i wasnt overly keen on the way it sat.
I know they are 300% better than the wheels that are on it but i was hoping it would sit much better than this.

Pics


















You see regardless of the look of the wheels in this pic,i really liked the way they sat from the arch.



So im in two minds what to do.Im into them for £230 then it will be £40 for centre caps £200 for a refurb and Aeromax and then £300 in rubber.
If after all that i still dont like them i cant see me getting £770 for them!

I think the only way it could look good is if i had a bit of poke out the back and lowered it more which i didnt really want to do as i wont it useable.

What do you guys think?

In other news ive finally got my seats wiring figured out!!!







Lots of fannying about with wiring diagrams and getting shunned by the RX8 owners club as they were going in a VW 
So i signed up with a different account and suddenly aquired an RX7(well they wernt to know any different  ) Anyway they were much more helpful and send me a few schematics so i got to work and hey ho here we go.

Video of the magic happening!

Ive got a machinist at work making me some new knobs to go over the existing switches as they dont look very nice and ive just taken delivery of some Gliptone leather cleaner/conditioner which i shall apply before i cover them up ready for subframe fabrication day.

Oh and a quick pic of the new door card installed complete with electric window conversion

Wheels much, much better! Those other ones are god awful! Space em out further if you don't like the way they sit at the moment, about 5mm then drop it another 5mm - 10mm (Don't be a pussy and you have improved it by a long way! try some 195/45/R16 tyres instead

Seats look awesome! 

Door cards are a million times better then they were before, are you going to get rid of that chrome though?!

[Wayne]

Borbets are loads better than what you have now, just space the rears a little

[Seanl]

Yep like the Borbets too!

Mine are reps, but the originals look much much better! 

Just realised they are 4 stud too, had to go back to your original post to see what your car was cos I was sure it was a GTI! 

[LowlifeDubber]

Ive already got 10mm spacers on the back 

The chrome is getting replaced with billed brushed alloy as soon as the machinist at work pulls his finger out.Also getting some Lotus Esprit indicator stalks as soon as i figure out how to incorporate the window wiper speed somehwhere else.

So what we thinking?Drop it 10mm get some 15mm spacers instead of 10mm's and roll the arches?

All this stance b0llocks is a pain in the arse!

If i get this done and dont like it im sending a rabid gerbil round to each of your houses!  

[Len]

I prefer the old wheels!
