I had my rears done by a paint pro, for £35 Archenemy charged me £50 to roll and flare the front wings on my old EK4! Looked really aggressive!

Be interesting to see it with a wheel test fitted if you have one around! I'm selling 16" Rota Spec R but they are ET45 so probably no good to you!Yeah I will need the arches rolling front and back, but I will leave that to the body shop when they go to paint it inside and out, which means I have to buy the wheel and fit the new hubs front and rear Once the arches are done I can take it all back off again for final prep and paint, just a ball ache to do though. I have SW98's on at the moment, but my new hubs are 98 Intergra so will need a 5x115 wheel. I'm looking at Braid Winrace A or Team Dynamics 1.2. Braid are a little bit more expensive but they are custom made and if I give them the dimensions of the brakes and suspension they will tell me if they clear so there is no issues. Need to choose soon as they take a minimum of 3 weeks to come through from Spain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a strange tyre size, where do you get those from. Cheers. Slicks are measured in width and overall height - not aspect ratio. A friend of mine runs in the Hyundai Cup put me in touch with a race tyre company and managed to get a good deal on some new slicks @ £75+VAT a corner. Okay my speedo will be out by about 4mph @ 60mph as they will be a bigger tyre but it's not going on the road so shouldn't be an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Decent price then! Doesn't matter about the speedo though, you only need your eyes to know when you've overtaken everyone else and stunned all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
