This is the worst looking wheel out of all of them.

:eh:

It's better than ronals - not so common imo
Def not the worst looking wheel out of the opel oem range - again, imo

Stock colour or a slightly darker shade with some silver specks - will match the car nicely

IMO

I second this.

I think Lexi will agree.

The lumo blue will be too much for an otherwise standard car

So contrary to Gouraami's belief, I did actually do work this weekend. But during the cleanup process, my awesome boss brought us some hard earned "refreshments" :Bravo:

Update on your ride? Still going lekker with that 1800? I still want to do this conversion but the cash flow is looking maar sleg, don't earn a lot so saving all I can. :problem: Where did you get those throttles? I schemed I also want to plak the X18XE in there and throttle it, keeping the engine standard but making it sound mooi. Will be saving up till I have so 30k in the bank, after this month I'll be trekking by 10k, slowly but surely, hopefully after 10 - 12 months I will have enough to moer everything together and then take a month leave to do the car :claugh: :mrgreen:
Safe meneer. :thumbup:
