So has everyone done all their Chrissie shopping? Or are some of us going to wait till tomorrow night

Nothing reinforces the spirit of Christmas like last minute shopping .

Don't forget that "Jesus is the reason for the season"

No rush, at least 36 hours of panicing to go. And yes, I still have more to do. Currently sitting at home waiting for Santa (Target) to deliver my son's present.

New one landed in Melbourne yesterday, now it's up to customs and whoever to get it to the dealer - I estimate 2 -3 weeks.

At least we still have the Cooper

Is the fat man in the red suit bringing you a new(er) set of wheels for Chrissie, Titty?

Interesting question. I bought them originally to replace the 17's on the MC, as I really like the replica BBS wheels I have. Saw these new ones on special, thought that I's used them to swap over on the MC. When I saw them in real life, my thoughts began to change. Sort of in two minds still, will try get them on to the MC next week and make a final decision.

My only concern is that they may be a little ricey. Any thoughts?

Oh yeah, I love wheels with machined lips. I really would like some dish, but hey it's a FWD

no no...they look great. And different! What are you doing in the way of tyres and suspension? What's the offset?

Thanks guys. I like the way they look

At this stage, I will be going down the Koni path, most probably used FSD shocks and their spring kit. Otherwise, springs will be Eibachs.

The wheels have a 45 offset.
