BTW, thanks for going through so many wheels on your car. Now I don't have to!

Hmm I never had Type X, must be thinking of a different car - I have ssr rs8 though.

Lots of wheels keeps you from getting bored with the car :p. When I'm feeling a change simply swap another set on and the car is fresh again. Then part them all out when the car is gone and make your money back


Interior and bay shots for those interested

I usually don't like silver EG's, but yours pulls it off nicely. I didn't even know they came in VSM from the factory in other places.

VSM still isn't common here with EGs, don't really see many around, and few are modified. Plenty of VSM EKs and EM1s though.

Man, you guys are making me wish I didn't sell them . The new owner is rocking them right though (on an eg with the same tire as I had but with 5mm spacers all round ).

There's more pics of my car with the black racing in higher res on rimtuck here http://www.rimtuck.com/setup.php?id=840

I picked up a set of RS Watanabes today though. 4x100 16x8/7 stagger +25 all round - been after them from this guy for ages and he's finally parting out his car. Im done now and happy with the collection - its finished. Until i find a set of ssr defi fins
