Wheelin' Dealin' - Updates

I received a call from cycle this morning with the message, "YOUR RIMS ARE HERE!"



Needless to say, i wasted no time in setting up an appointment to get them mounted on the Continental CPC2 tyres (205/55/R15) that were already set aside at Stamford Tyres in Lok Yang. Luckily the rims were at the Pandan branch of Cycle & Carriage, so it was only a short hop, skip and jump to Stamford Tyres.



After it was mounted, we decided to fit the steering wheel as well and get it properly aligned:



With the new rims, the car feels lighter than when it was on the replicas. If what i've been reading is accurate, these old-style rims are actually forged - OE Fuchs - which makes their price a real bargain. The steering wheel is great too, offering grip and decently sporty aesthetics.



All it needs is a cleaning now and some interior grooming:

Rubber & Steel: csc3 + enkei GTC01 PART 2

over to YHI...

slapped a set of these spanking 17-inch beauties on:



they may not be forged but they're noticeably lighter than the standard Honda Modulo alloy rims, which were already pretty badly kerbed by this point.

given my hideous track record, im keeping my fingers crossed for the Enkei rims!
