Title: New wheels on
Post by: AlanD on March 23, 2011, 05:04:35 pm: After losing my fight with a pothole it was time to get some new wheels. Ended up getting some Cades Bern Black wheels, very happy with them.

Before anyone says it, I know it needs lowering. Need more money for that so it will have to wait for now. Also excuse the rusty discs, always does that after a wash.

Make sure you have your geo done once you get it lowered.

I've got a set of BLQ's and they look great however the quality of the finish is not overly great. After 2 sets they have agreed to cover the cost of a refurb
