Re: BB4 - New OZ Alloys-update 1st May

Thanks for the link Rob ;) bit pricey tho :(
Luckily enough i have a set of centre caps that came off a set of Borbet alloys - theyre unusual and i cant identify the logo but it could be possible that it is a OZ logo (CZD) or from an Opel - anyway they match the colour scheme of the car "black n red" and the fit perfect :)

The other thing i had to do was replace the spiggot rings which were 68.1mm centre bore as they came off a Nissan Primera Gt - so found some good quality ones in the right size BORE 64.1 (half price on ebay) Image[/url]

Im liking the look of these alloys - so it will be off with the PIAA's and back on with these maybe :? :lol:

Yes! Those pics make your car look soooooo good! 8-)

I've always thought Milano red on a good clear dusk / sunset looks perfect. :rock:

That red looks awesome 8-) Didn't realise just how flared the 4G arches look either. Is that the light or are they that accentuated?

Cheers Donald
The red looking awesome is a result of loads of polishing and favourable lighting :lol:

The flared arches are real its just that the PIAA's are a 51 offset which means they sit slightly further back into the arch and give it that look - may also be that theyre quite eye catching so draw the eye to that area of the car ;) which is a good thing at the front and not so good at the back :?
