Have you also told her that you intend to recoupe some of the dosh via the sale of the 18's which really makes the 19's a bargin!

Maybe buy her a wee treat and she may see the logic

Yeah, I've done all the numerical explaining. I'm an accountant after all

She may be turning though...they're in the dining room at the moment and she saw them for the first time this morning and said that they looked beautiful. But then said we she would rather have had a week in the sun somewhere. Without me. Hmmmmm.

KW v1 suspension fitting is tentatively booked with ABP Motorsport. Maybe I won't need to tell here about this as she won't notice any difference!

In all seriousness, she's very understanding really. She first saw the Rages herself at the Brands Hatch meet a couple of months ago and was pretty enthusiastic until I explained the cost!

Oh I would defo keep the ABP bit from her and as for the feel. Depending on how much she is in the car she may notice. I know my Mum did and she's only in it every now and then

Sounds like a good plan mate. I've been looking at alloys (18 and 19 inch) for over a year now (since I bought the car) and basically I didn't find anything that I liked anywhere near as much as the Rages.

It is a lot of cash, and there are a lot of other things you might want to modify on your car, but they set the car of beautifully.

Don't get me wrong though - the standard 18's are good wheels too, although I think they look better on Silver than they do on the Black or Red.

Can't wait to get the Rages on. I spent a couple of hours today sealing them with Jetseal and the Poorboys Wheel Sealant. Figured it's easier to do this before they go on the car. Just two more wheels to do....

See you next week Vince

Any update on the price for a set of RAGES ?

Noticed £1275 earlier in the thread, any advance on this figure for a new set ?

Once they come down under £1k, I'll have to seriously consider them...

got mine for £950.00 with tyres

Thats more the sort of price I'd be looking at, under the £1k mark.

Where they from a dealer though or a friend or something ? Not seen them as low as that (yet!) ?
