    Anthracite Nebulas are on

    Well I've bored you all with the refurb thread so I thought I would start a new one with the finished pictures. Need to find another project now! It would appear I have a bit of a wheel fetish, I've also got a set of 17'' Amaltheas in the garage for when I sell the car on.

    18'' Pegasus now with MikeC70. Not a big lover of these on non-R car P2's- just don't seem to look right IMHO. Pegasus on an 855 thats a different story, love them

    16'' Metis with winter tyres for skiing trips, used these for the last week. Car seems quicker off the mark with them on, nasty around corners though!

    18'' Nebulas, anthracite centers with silver rims, new design centre caps. I think these are the best looking wheel on the P2's. 235/40 18 feels a little over tyred though. 17'' wheels are probably the best handling/ride compromise.

    A few close ups- yes the car always needs a wash.



    That's it! Done now.

    You have the same car me! They must be twins, even down to the covered towbar. Black is always the best colour!

    Those wheels look awsome. Did they come in that colour? Where did you get them? Can you get them in Black?!

    Sorry for all the questions but I want some of those wheels!

    Ok, just read you're other thread. I think that answers most of my questions. Sorry.

    Just wondered, why not black?

    No you have the same car as me but mine goes twice as far as yours on the same £ of fuel

    I'm insulted you missed my thread HERE, CLICK That should answer all your questions.

    Personally I think black would be too much on a black car.

    You beat me to it! Sorry!

    Give it a week with DS2500 front pads and they will be black- one of the reasons why I applied loads of wheel wax as I don't want brake dust ruining them.

    Oh God is yours a D5! I'm sorry to hear that. Nevermind, we all make mistakes!

    Only Joking, your right about the fuel, thats why you can buy wheels and I can't, I'm spending every last penny on unleaded. Damn my heavy right foot!

    Well done with the wheels and I will be reading your thread when I can afford new alloys!

    Don't let my wife near those wheels! My Nebulas are looking very second hand at the moment....
