Personally, I would sell them and get some originals.
Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.

All the pictures are from the previous owner, he'd give it one hell of a polish before i picked it up.
One thing i can't get my head around is standard rims without side moulding, i'll try them back on when the mouldings are here and it's sitting lower

Re: Black Sierra Cosworth
Love it, originals look best, but the car really does dwarf them a bit. Im not sure about the wheels on it now really, I don't think they suit the car at all. Although I think that view may change if they were graphite possibly. I've always through some multispoke split rims would look awesome on it, proper touring car style.
Have you looked at garage security too? Was just speaking to motorcycles_fish about this. Would be such a shame if some little toe-rag has it away.

Well i have as much security as i can get but at the end of the day if i'm out and someone breaks into the house and gets through the locks and stops then theirs nothing i can do, it's agreed insured so i'd be fine - and to be honest we have the second lowest car crime rate in the country behind cornwall i think it is.

Re: Black Sierra Cosworth
Yeah - there's only so much you can do I suppose. From reading about other peoples miss fortunes, something that seemed popular was to install those bollards that you can bring to the upright position and lock them, mind you, they are blatant and 'look at me i've got something worth stealing'.
PS - Received the HT lug,and got it fitted in. Cheers for that, really appreciated it.

Re: Black Sierra Cosworth
How about 18" originals
If it were mine (never know it might be one day )
I would put black hoses on, and darker wheels.
Any pictures of the bay mate ??

beautiful car. paint looks flawless.
the white rims are not perfect but certainly not objectionable either. i prefer the originals though.
well wear.

Re: Black Sierra Cosworth
Had a good look at the standard wheels this morning and they appeared to be lacking lacquer so out came the T-cut, drill, polishing mops and they are awesome, so when the car has its strips on and lowered i'm going to test run both sets.

Re: Black Sierra Cosworth
The power had gone down in the garage and we needed a nut off! After she came out of the living room to investigate the noise she was greeted by the sight of sparks flying out of the kitchen and into the hallway. It was two years ago and believe me I've not heard the last of it.
