Hey guys. Sorry for the delays. Ha ha.

So Quick Recap guys just incase you guys were interested.

Sold the AC Schnitzers, as i was goin to buy my mates wheels, but as he was waiting for another guy to sort out his wheels, in order for my friend to buy this guy's wheels, and then i buy my friends wheels, Sam got let down by the other guy last minute saying "im not selling"! this meant no wheels for sam, no wheels for me, and Edition less than a week away.

I hunted around the net, but nothing tickled my fancy, but since along time ago when my friend Ryan ran Rota Grids on his R32T, i had a soft spot for them, and as I hadnt seen any one really do them "properly", i thought i would give them a go.

Wednesday - I sent a couple of peeps I know at 9-10 am, and by 12 i had been given a number and a name to call. Made the call at 1pm on my lunch, placed the order and Rota Uk (RareRims.co.uk) came to the rescue, next day delivery agreed, and all in order, panic was over. Well, thats what i thought. I had a French Friend land at half 7 on Thursday morning to come to edition38 show with me and my friends, so we went for a quick tour of london, and at 2pm, my phone rings, The wheels arrived at the tyre place. All exited we leave central london, rush home and shoot over to the tyre place..



Open it all up,



so this is why the panic wasnt over... I ordered e39 spigots and e36 15mm spacer also with the wheels, however, i got e36 spigots and e39 spacers. This caused a massive problem, as 9s et35 upfront is never going to clear the coils. few calls back and forward to Rota, and they said, we are sending the right stuff on next day delivery (but I was leaving that evening to meet my friends in Tottenham and then friday morning to the show).

Few More calls, and Joey and Ricky step up with their shim spacers and come give us a hand getting the wheels on, as it was now about 6pm and only just finished raining and i needed to fit the wheels and lower the car back down after the bank holiday trip i made.

So with the stuff i had mixed with what they sent and the shims Joey and Ricky bought, I fitted the wheels, all was on by about half 9 and i couldnt see what i was doing. lol

Show was great, had loads of Fun, here are some pics..
