Unfortunately I'm still looking for wheels, those Ultraleggera were ET35, the guy advertising them thought they were ET45. They didn't fit.
But I'm happy, finally my AP Racing BBK is ready.

My car is waiting for the front brakes at my mechanic's for 3 months now. Don't know how AP Racing work but I'm sure that 10000 Fiesta's were borned from March.  :mad:
Today I couldn't help taking it for a spin even with almost no front pads, I've ignored al the warning noises:  :jumping:
I think it looks good with the trackday wheels also:

 





I'm happy that I had no rubbing with my Team Dynamics 8J ET45 wheels and TT lower arms with -2.3 camber, but I was driving at normal town speed. I'm still to find out on 27th how this setup will work on track, there is a bolt on the inner side of the wheel arch that is worryingly close. It was also the first spin for the DMACK tyres. They felt pretty grippy but their test will be on the trackday.   





I've ordered o new set of Ultraleggeras, this time Matt Graphite Silver 8x18 ET45. Maybe I should have ordered ET48, but I didn't want to risk not clearing the new calipers.

I think I will also keep the OEM Orion wheels for the winter, so I will have 3 sets for different use. I wanted to get rid of them because they will not fit over the AP Racing calipers. But I thing they might. :party:
AP Racing say that this kit will fit under the OEM 2008 Audi S3 wheel + 3mm spacer. That wheel is 7.5J ET54. Orion wheels are 7.5J ET 51 so .... :jumping: :grin:
Help me decide which color should I refurbish them, I'm thinking anthracite or matt gunmetal.

Can't wait for the next 2 weeks for the brakes and Ultraleggeras!  :laugh: :jumping:

Shoduchi:
That's a very big Palace! :surprised:

I'd go for the Matt Gunmetal for your white Leon. :happy2:
