Smile New Wheels!

Just got new wheels today, they are 18" AMG Quake's in Hyper Silver with 245/40 Falken Rubber. My mate sold em to me as he just bought a brand new Territory turbo. I think they look hot and a lot better then the original 16"s i had it on before and they grip soo much better to!

Yeah unpainted just incase the courier scratch them i believe. It shouldn't cost that much to paint. Your car is black so pretty much the easiest colour to match on AU's.. its not like it'll have to be blended.

It looks funnier with side skirts and nothing else more like it..
The rear skirt is made to match the tickford side skirts so it won't look out of proportion. Its the same rear skirt as mine, have a look at my au webpage. www.aufalcon.com/glennauii
