Got a CTR

[imi]

Hi everyone,

Been on the forum a while, ya all have some nice cars

I got myself a Cosmic Grey CTR Facelift 2005 reg, damn they're fast..:dance:

I got it lowered on H&Rs 35mm and the BMC Induction Kit (GruppeM - will do some day)

I just wondering about putting some 18" wheels on them, what opinion do you guys offer, stick to standard or prefer 18s?

 

[imi]

I was thinking about the STV1 in white? (someting different)

a bit over top you reckon? :chav: or should i get the gun metal ones? :smt112

Nice wheels, both look good.

Gunmetal on Cosmic IMO, with blue brake calipers.

Oh, and welcome to the forum.

 

[jamied27]

got to agree, i think the gunmetal could look better
but then again im just not a huge fan on white wheels on dark cars
painting the calipers will be good too

also big welcome to the forum

 

[imi]

Thanks.. well not the white then :-# but have manged to source these, well bought them.

they are 18 x7.5 with tyres, should get them fitted on the weekend, will post up some pics of the CTR :smt025

Very nice wheels mate

 

[jamied27]

i agree strongly
very nice wheels
gives you quite a few options for colouring the callipers too

 

[C17GEY]

I'd go with the gunmetal ones

 

[imi]

too late now, gone for the black with red strip round the rim..

 

[C17GEY]

Yeah I saw... Just thew my opinion on there... purely because I'm thinking about getting some gunmetal ones for my EP3!

Good choice though mate.

[jamied27]

coloured callipers should set it off nicely i think

 

[imi]

[NickCTR]

[Suits]

To be honest doesn't sound to bad, deep noise when driving, then roars when vtec kicks in, was going to get the K&N Kit, but heat sink was an issue and this ones is enclosed
