I put together my xenons for under £1k,
Is it just me that finds spending a grand on a pair of headlights obscene?
Wheels and tyres I can go along with, but headlights?

Ah, but those people will say that Xenons don't wear out but wheels and tyres do. Does that make sense?  :laugh:

















































Luckily, I don't have Xenons.  :wink:

Some people may say its obscene to spend a grand on alloys just so a car looks better to some people when its standing still
Even more so when taking into account the conditions of the roads today.

Good tyres i can see why spend the money on, as they improve saftey as does.....

I am glad some of you have Xenons because you can light up my expensive and wonderful wheels even at night and then choke with jealousy 'cause your own ones arn't that nice.  :kiss:

You not got worms yet :evil:
I bought a set of wheels and got a car free. I could have even bought two for what some are looking at wheel/tyre packages  :tongue:

Not yet, but I've got the right medicine in a set of BBS CK Silvers. Anyway, they'll be replaced under warranty if it happens, so I am not bothered. Might even only use the Shadows during the winter just to get the worm infestation.  :evil:

For winter use:
Asker buys 18" wheels and expensive tyres, I buy a car+insurance and for mild days a second set of wheels with cheap winter tyres and mines prob cheaper  :grin:

I changed it abit when i thought about it more  :wink: as one car will be going  :wink:

Your not stupid you live in a city with public transport, with a parking shortage, with a storage problem and city that shuts down and calls a national emergency when two snow flakes fall from the sky.  :tongue: :evil:

Anyway this is way off topic. As wheels and snow don't really go with lights  :grin:

True, but am still stupid to have 2 sets of wheels and tyres. I feel I have been too sensible all my life and I am fed up with it. I've stopped buying expensive shoes for myself and decided to spend on wheels and tyres instead. Does that make some sense? :laugh:

Wooops, way off Andy's topic.  :rolleyes:
