I like the wheels better than the sweatbands.

Says Jetfuel, the guy who's been holed up in the garage for weeks with his (bride's) new brabus. (by cover of night, of course)


Come on, Jet, enough tension already --- lets see the mods.

I like them. Wheels looks very similar to the Smart Spikelines (used on the crossblade).

suze, the wristbands weren't too expensive. Good to order them if you're ordering other things or a lot of them as they have to come from the UK. Maybe I'll buy a bunch for the National Rally next year.
As soon as the tires arrive I will take pictures of them on the Smart.

jet, yes you are right. I should have waited a little longer.

cubefx, I LOVE the Spikelines. For those that aren't aware, Spikelines are 16inch wheels that were on the crossblade and the roadster. I wanted to get those but they were too expensive and the tires you have to put on them are difficult to find and wear quickly. Also, when you add wider wheels and tires to the 450 the steering takes a bit to get used to. Who knows, maybe my company will take off and we'll be generating lots of revenue and I'll be able to give myself a nice bonus - the same dollar amount as some 16inch spikelines and tires??

Off to track my tires and get a date for install. Hopefully it will be today or Monday.

I choose not to bare anything with you! Very nice looking wheels, BTW.
