just save up for some originals  :sad:

Do you have any ideas how much they cost? You would be crazy imo to spend that ammount of money on a set of rims.

Indeed, think they are about £3grand...could say they affordable but just sooo many other things id prefare to spend 3 grand on! Miltek, Haldex, GruppeM intake, etc....any one know where i can buy a Gruppe M actually? I do have a fair bit saved  :smiley:

....But some might say that I am crazy to have spent what I have on mods, or particularly a carbonfibre bonnet :grin:

If you can save or have the money available it doesn't matter imo. One man's £1,000 is another's £10,000 etc.

A fraction of that money would be better spent on advanced driver training in my opinion but that's just my opinion - Each to their own. :cool:

nups robin, i said it looks cool. didnt say id do it to mine, ive driven cars with stretched tyers and they handle like crap so i already know this.

....So why advise someone to do it if you already know it's a bad idea?

No probs with us sometimes disagreeing, Joe  :smiley:

Sorry topher but I think it's important that the original poster has info which doesn't result in the risk of his safety. I'll say no more on the subject :smiley:

i didnt advise him robin, look at my post again, i just said they look mint  :smiley: :smiley:

....I think she probably means that you'll certainly learn something about driving fast cars safely and you'll be safe with them on the track day. But what I was on about was more of a full day one-to-one in your own car on public roads learning roadcraft. Every little bit helps but in my opinion driving safely (but still being able to make fast progress when appropriate) on public roads is the most important. The ideal to do both road and track training but not to drive on the road as if it was a track.

We never stop learning and the fact that I've been driving more than 40 years means diddlysquat.
