Howdy PPLS,

Well once again im very happy. After collecting all my church money from the couch, bedroom, and car and the hidden jar under the bed SHHHHHHH, i finally got tyres for the 17inch Mp3 Rims that were once belonging to Timmeh. After researching and whinging to everyone on my MSN list about what tyres to get , i wasnt really after spending over 700 bucks for tyres.

So thanks once again to il capo of the club he instructed me to go to Tempe Tyres and get a set of Nankang NS2. i heard that they were a very good tyre and originally thought they were expensive. So i call em up for a quote and nearly fell off my chair $500 bucks for the lot including balance/alignment.

Anyways, i am very happy with the result and will definitly be getting these tyres again.

:thebirds: Speedo Varience is 4.8% which means i am doing 104.8kmph when speedo is 100kmph :thebirds:

First pic is what she looked like when i got her.


This is her today





All it need now is to be on its nuts.

The wheels look excellent, and I'll vouch first hand that the tyres are excellent in both the wet and the dry. I'll be buying another set for my next car (with any luck I won't need to buy another set for the Focus as it should be sold by then).

They will look rather massive in the flesh, all you will see is a set of gigantic wheels rolling towards you, and then hey whoa, there's a Fiesta strapped to the top of them.

All the best with them and I hope you like them.

Tim

Hmmm. Ye, not too bad. I must admit I thought they'd look better.

Mista Fiesta, Have you had yours lowered yet or not?

Thanks for the comments guys.

I must say the pictures dont do it justice, as when i looked at the pics they look a bit small and especially on the side on pic the angle is wrong. I will be doing some more pics later in the week.

It has not been lowered as yet and probably wont be till next year. there is no harm in it looking a bit high at the moment.

But u will notice the rear looks lowered compared to the front, because of an added 50kg sub box. If i do concider lowering it about 1.5 inch i will have to take the rear inner guards out as they are already pinned back to stop rubbing.
