    Yeah, thanks. I'd like to get it lowered at some point too, just gotta figure that out. But right now I am super eager to get these wheels and get REISEN looking bad!!

    I will document the whole wheel swap and do a nice write up. Also will do the same for the UR suspension pieces. Man, I am excited!!

    That really did change the whole look of the car. I'm quite impressed at the drastic transformation with such a small change as just wheels. I really like it!

    Thanks: Kerc & MysticMirage

    I will be snapping a bunch more photos this weekend. I sprayed the lug-nuts, calipers, & drums a medium-dark blue, doesn't really show in these super crappy pics.
    AND - yes Mudflap - I love 'em!! I have been putting mudflaps on my cars since/as a result of my old 240DIESEL Volvo having them standard. Keeps the car cleaner and I think it really just looks cool - very Rally-esque, IMO (especially on this car )

    I may have a chance to do a couple "hot" laps on a racetrack (not during any 'event') this weekend - I may GoPro it for you guys, prolly not too exciting though, but fun. Car's body still rolls substantially - new springs are a must!

    So - thus far: TINT to 20%, Mudflaps, Wheels & Tires, debadged the rear
    Still to come: Suspension pieces - UR front strut tower brace, rear anti-roll bar, bumper black-out, muffler replacement (triples realy, really sound good, this one needs to be slightly uncorked - more like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsbkTSe84IE - this is a Triumph "triple" 675

    Looks great. Let us know if you encounter any rubbing issues with the wheel+tire combo.

    Yup. I'd also like to know where did you get the mudflaps. I'm going into a slightly retro direction with my Mirage...
