Nice steal! Those were the ones I was gonna get, but there was also the SA-70 (also $900) for sale at the time and got that one instead.Quote:

The paint on the wheels isnt in the best condition right now since i had to resort to wet sanding the brake dust that even the strongest acid wheel cleaner wouldn't touch; some parts have been sanded right down to the primer. So now i'm after some touch up paint or a similar paint code that matches the weds bronze colour. It's a little different to works/rays bronze since theirs is a little darker. Been experimenting with diff types of bronze from off the shelve paints and yet to find one that matches closely, so if you find anything lemme know lol.
So lucky you guys find cheap wheels.
Una91 - did you install those side indicators yourself? Mine are ugly looking circle ones.
Anyone know where I can get it and I assume it's easy to install with 3m tape?
At least you guys can afford them wheels :(
Nope, car came like that, i thought they were stock? :SQuote:

I'm in love with the rims mate, absolutely fantastic choice, suits the car well. I very nearly bought a set of these for my Corolla when they released the 'C-One Special Edition' (translation = had a red ring around the lip instead of a blue one) but I ended up grabbing a set of Rays G-Games 77m as Yonas had them much cheaper at the time.Quote:

if you look at my photo of my car, the blinker on the side of the car is a little circle... anyone else know how i can replace these?
IMG nipples? If you bought from IMG they will be the same as lots of us here. They aren't hard to replace, you will just have to source something with the same innards if you don't want to have to alter the holes in your guards to fit a different shaped housing.Quote:

- Your guards will most likely be out of shape due to whichever clown that installs the blinkers @ IMG leaning too hard on the drill (coupla hundred to get the guards pulled back out and into their correct shape)
- The wiring for these things is spliced into the indicators in your headlights, so be very careful not to put too much pressure on it. It is also likely to fall out (the wiring) once you remove the inner guard, have a few zip ties on hand to fix it nice and safely inside your inner guard . . . just like the importer should have.
As far as replacing them, they pop out easy as, all you need to do is remove your inner guard (flat blade screwdriver will get you there from memory, its just clips, maybe some screws that you will need a phillips head for). I found it easier to take the wheel off as I'm more ample bodied than most. Once you have access to them from behind, its easy as . . . ok, that sounded a little weird, hopefully you get the idea.
Yep I have the same type of indicators as well. I like the look with the indicators, rather have the indicator integrated on the side mirrors like the euro.
thanks jc, might try it when i get some time.. hmmmm to get a mugen style front lip or not.. anyone bought the ebay ones?
