Burger kings, not AlpinasE3OBM wrote:looks very nice and clean, tidy cab you got there, but i must say get rid of the alpinas and get something euro style
If you Got "Haters",Then your doing something Right!
CR24v??? Where's it all gone?? LOL
A grand plus my old seats as exchange. It's a superb job and the M-Tech stripes are in coloured leather as well. Really sets the car off well, money well spent IMO.
As per the earlier post I think I'd like to change the wheels, but have no idea what to change them to. I always liked the Alpina wheels and think the reps look fine, but I'm convinced the car would drive better on different rims. All ideas welcome, preferably with pics!

It's cream leather that I had trimmed a couple of months ago. This is a better shot:
However do come with a not sooo sexy price tag and rare in correct fitaments and size.....but well worth it...
Borbet B's rare once again.. and few guys on here have them
Ive been thinking bout these:

Thanks for all the positive comments and suggestions (keep them coming!). I'm going to have to spend a few hours on the net looking up all these wheels to see what they look like.
Still got a list of things I want/need to do to the car, so it's not finished yet. I'm about to press it into daily service as I'm selling my other car and it always takes me ages to find a replacement.
The trimmer was based in East London/Essex way. Can't remember his name right now, but will try to dig it out. If anyone wants to know please PM me so I remember.

IMO the wheels look cracking and set the car off, changing the wheels will dramatically change the look of the car.
I may be shot down here but dose it really matter that they are replicas, they look the part and so long as they handle well whats the crime.
PS. The rest of the car is

If your wife must learn to drive, don't stand in her way!
I agree they look good, but the car could look a lot better with some different wheels.Curr946 wrote:IMO the wheels look cracking and set the car off, changing the wheels will dramatically change the look of the car.

Well I finally bought some brand new rims for the car and some lovely sticky Yokohama tyres to go with them. The problem is that the wheels I wanted were NLA with a silver centre so I went for black instead. I sort of like them, but keep wondering what the car would look like with silver centres so have bought some paint & materials to respray them.
Before I go ahead I'd like to hear some opinions and see if somebody would kindly photoshop the centres to silver.
Thanks in advance

Thanks. Seem to be many on here who believe anything other than genuine BBS x-spoke is unacceptable. I wanted 17s, looked at loads of different options/wheels and these are the only ones that I wanted enough to buy. Just a shame that I couldn't get the silver colour as I think I prefer it to black (which makes the car look a bit too 'drug dealer' IMO!)
......you might find they are the ones selling bbs wheels 
if you've got a pic of the silver centre wheels, post it up even if its NLA as it would be easier to cut and paste it onto your pic. also a sideways pic of the car to eliminate perspective (ie: the wheels are totally circular) would also make life easy for photoshop guru's......
but seriously, stick with black (and no, i'm not high!!)

At the end of the day it's your car & you have it how you want to,
Those wheels look nice, you have the advantage now that you can drive it like that for a while to see if the black centres "grow" on you, if you still don't like them 100%, you can try silver centres,
(I still think it's stunning & I'm still jealous,)

Gone, but not forgotten !!
I would be happy if mine was 1/5th that clean!
I have a question - your doors have the same odd looking things that look like slam locks, what are they? Never seen them on a car EVER and now I see another - on another cabby!

looks better, but I think these rims would look better in a dark grey shade..but hats off to you because know one has bought these rims on the zone that I know of I'm considering buying these Lenso Eagles but just wish they had a deeper dish for the rears esp....but looks very cool...
