Get yourself there - no excuses. NZ's best Euro hotness and I know some people will be pushing the boat OUT this year.

Flat wheel society

I'm thinking of starting a support group for flat face wheel addicts - who's with me? if you have a boner for clean and simple wheels that also fill the guards and look f#ckin m3ntal on almost anything than the Tarmac by 1552 would be the rock for your crack pipe!

I know - this wheel has been out a while now but I've been hiding my man crush on them until now - just been enjoying the pics that are surfacing like my own little personal guilty pleasure. 

In fact 1552 are my dream organisation, I'm sure making cool wheels for enthusiasts isn't easy - but damn they pull it off well. I'd be bananas if I worked there.

Anyway hit the jump and order some - I want someone in NZ to rock these. I'd like to see them in custom offsets on a B5 Audi RS4.

More Speedlines - flat face(ish) wheels are coming UP!

Speedline_17x8_5x100

Secured these recently, 17x8 5x100 ET30. Most likely ST205 Celica fitment again but no major to mod to fit VWs etc - and they need a little TLC anyway.

Gawd I love these Speedies - so light, so strong, so lush.

Wish they could be found in wider sizes for reasonable cash, but nah - people say they're out there but I don't believe in Santa anymore either.

Will post some more pics in a few months when they arrive.

That's low - beetle on hydro

Sometimes getting low is all you need. Personally I'd love to see some crisp whitewalls on this to offset the paint - but I think it works well as is also.

While I'm making progress

What's the bet I run out of actual cool Progress' before I run out of puns using the word "progress"?

Anyway while I've got some momentum yesterdays post got me looking on Yahoo for more Progress. And low and behold here's one I like

This one has 2JZGE, genuine BBS LMs in 17x9 ET20 (Skyline GTR fitment according to the ad) with 205/40s and coilovers. I'm really feeling it....

The ad might be dead by the time you read this but here it is here if you're quick http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k147717923

That's Progress

Wow - March since I posted last. Hmmm, been busy.

Anywayz - was down at Tyretech this morning and spotted Tarran's Toyota Progress. WTF is a Progress??? Where's the taxi light? One of those cars you never look once at once, let alone twice. But check this logic - RWD, 1JZ or sometimes 2JZ power plants and shares a lot of components with Altezzas apparently (that means lots of cheap good bits).

So the boys put in some work - 100mm lower than stock on 17x9 ET35 Ragamasters. Forgot to ask about tyre size but I'd guess 205/45s or 215/45s maybe.

Yeah it's an unusual car - but I like people that push the boat out occasionally and take a chance on something different. That's progress!

Poland, doin' it right.

Stumbled across this video for the VAG Event 2010 in Poland. Man they are killing it over there.

Love the feel of this vid too - just got that luxuriousness to it.

Soak it up like a one hour bubble bath with your favourite girl, in a mega dollar penthouse suite looking out at a million dollar sunset.

P.S. Don't blame me for your lost productivity.

6,5,4,3,2............1.

I'm on a Mk1 Golf bender at the moment. I can't get enough of the boxy little units. Maybe another Mk1 coming up? I'm thinking about it.

Came across these 3 pictures ona trawl that stood out from a similarity of style formula and photography perspective.

Enough said - just enjoy.

Bleeding fingers

Bbs_rs_033s_with_2

3 hours. Thankfully these are 15s so only 30 bolts per wheel. But still, 3 damn hours it what it took me to scrub the bolts clean, gripping them in the fingers of one hand with the other scrubbing them with a toothbrush and some Jif. 

They're not mint, but now at least look good enough for a test assembly.

BBS RS033 with 2.5" lip. OEM silver centre and half height caps.

Wish I my other centres were good enough condition where I didn't have to refinish them, but they're not. So not sure where to go from here. Hmmmm
