Well, i finally got my arse in gear and sorted a courier out to pick these up that i paid for about a month ago. Arrived today, but forgot to mention them to the wife. Think she'll notice i swapped them for my monza's, at least there the same colour :signLOL:

They are rather gorgeous! Good luck hiding them! :signLOL:
-
Cheers dom. :happy2: She'll be cool. Just as long as i dont tell her the price. :signLOL:
-
Just put them on the car, she'll never notice. If she does just say you swapped them.
-
Cheers dom. :happy2: She'll be cool. Just as long as i dont tell her the price. :signLOL:
I have the same issue, always have to reduce the price by 50% before telling :evilgrin:
This works both ways though, her collection of shoes (or what ever she's into) will be worth a lot more than you think :wink:
-
I just tell mine not to tell me how to spend my money as I don't interfere in her business. It's a set of wheels, it's not as if you're riding her sister.
-
If you're that concerned, i am more than happy to hide them for you on my car :wink: - just throwing it out there as an idea :signLOL:
They are awesome, and will look great on the car :happy2:
You seem to be purchasing loads for the car recently - which I am actually rather jealous about (although i shall be joining you in the K04 gang soon :happy2:)
-
I'll save you some hassle Gaz. Drop them off at Statllers and I'll put them on my .:R when it arrives. Tell me how much your wife thinks you paid and I''l come down with the readies :wink:
Lovely wheels though Gaz and will suit your car. :drool:
-
Tell her she needs to buy you some new tyres...
-
Lmao, i actually had them delivered to statllers. She was out working this afternoon so managed to get them into the garage :signLOL:, @ garethb, i'm almost where i want to be with the car now matey. Just a couple more things and i think i'm gonna be done with it. :evilgrin: gonna enjoy it then

You're going to find a definite improvement in response with lighter weight wheels fitted. The Monza 18's are over 11 kg.

Your not wrong robin, i almost came in my pants when i lifted the boxes. Unbelievably light. 8kg i believe. :rolleye:
-
Sorry but I dont like them at all. I think you should give them to me and I will put them on my car to save you any embarassment :signLOL:
On a serious note they look awesome :happy2:
-
Just like me,if I had to tell her, it has to be reduced by 50%
-
Think its gonna have to be the old "i've swapped them for my monza's love" :signLOL:
-
Just showed her the pic in the thread and said to her " do you like these love" to which she replied, "just get them" lmao
Job done. They will be on by the weekend :signLOL:
-
Result :happy2:
Pics needed when they're on please :notworthy:
-
Very nice, note to self, dig out the grey Turinis currently collecting dust in the garage and get them on the car.
Looking forward to some lighter rims.
-
Note to Bernhard, What are you waiting for! :popcornsoda:
-

Indeed Mike - they've been dust collecting for too long..will get my 4r$e in gear.
-
Tell her what's she waiting for and get her hand in her purse and pay for the fitting - that's what a modern woman would want to do surely?
:driver:
-
Your not wrong robin, i almost came in my pants when i lifted the boxes. Unbelievably light. 8kg i believe. :rolleye:
....OZ usually pack with a label on each wheel - Should look like this:

Your not wrong robin, i almost came in my pants when i lifted the boxes. Unbelievably light. 8kg i believe. :rolleye:
i never realised that they are that light. i was gonna tell you to keep the Monzas because they look spot on, but you'll get a noticable increase in performance losing 3 kg a corner rotational mass :driver:
-
They are 2nd hand robin. :happy2:

Im keeping the monza's anyway sub, may get winter tyres put on them.
-
In a similar position to you. Got some Monza II's arriving tomorrow from Big Al. Haven't said anything but I know she will notice them when she goes in the garage, lol. So need to come up with a good excuse.
-
Gonna be getting them fitted up on friday with any luck, will post up pics as soon as
-

....You should be able to find out their weight online (apart from actually weighing them on accurate certified scales as I also did to check mine).
The seller should have kepts the weight labels to pass on (as I would if selling mine).
I've still got my powdercoated Monza 18's in storage and also included on my insurance along with my OZ's so I can ride on either without concern.

-
8.9kg light enough me thinks. :signLOL:
....Certainly :happy2: A trackday favourite are TD's and they weigh just over 9 kg in 18's IIRC.
We look forward to seeing pics of them on the car and of you living in your garden shed when your wifey finds out :evilgrin:
-
amazing wheels, the best over there in my opinion!
Those are hard to hide as opposed to things under the bonnet. My wife asked me what that hissing noise under the bonnet - twintake!
It's harder to hide things than to buy them!

....So true! And females have a sixth sense which tells them when anything whatsoever is being hidden, including when talking. I think it may have something to do with them being so good at hiding things themselves :evilgrin:

Lovely wheels! These were my nephew's. Wish I'd never turned them down, now. :ashamed:
-
Will be getting them fitted up today so will put pics up later on tonight.
