Default Getting ready for winter, new rims

The TT was out getting a Dawn bath in preparation for 3 coats of Zaino. First time with Zaino so I hope it goes well, going to do either one coat of Z5 followed by two coats of Z2 or two coats of Z5 with one Z2 on top. I plan on using the ZFX with all three coats.

But here's a quick picture, not much shine with all the wax stripped off. But the rims are 17 inch Flik Justice in anthracite. The tires are Nokian Hakka RSI's, this will be my second season with the tires, first with the rims (Wasps wouldn't fit over the BBK).

The car just came off the jack so it should settle a little yet, that wheel gap is a bit extreme.

Thanks Steve. I like the dark rims in winter but not for summer. I don't know why.

Default Tires came from Anderson Motorsport, local shop.

And the rims came from Edgeracing.com.
Thanks,

Default Absolutely love your brakes! Those look awesome...

Can I buy them from you?



I'm getting ready for my dark winter setup very soon! Pics will come!

Would have done it today, but out of town

Default Thanks Paul

Brakes are not for sale. :-) They look really great with the dark rims I think, makes them stand out a lot. I still need to repaint the rears, the shades don't match. I have been considering painting them red or possibly body color if I go with a custom black repaint.

Looking forward to pics once you get the Wasps on.
