Want to buy them?

ive got a chance on a set of nice period weller wheels, but no money to pay for them, so the wolfraces may have to go.
I'll miss the dish though. :(

Or slot mags if i cand find them in 4x100 15s.
I really love the Wolfraces that are on, you cant beat that deep dishon gloss black but theyre a bit hip. dangerously so. And they make the car 75thousand times more takeable to a tracksuit boy.
And considering even my sister can get into and start a 340 with a lolly-stick, a spoon and tungsten bolt on a string, im thinking of dressing it down a bit.
All the little parts have started to rack up the £££££s spent now, so im getting a bit para of it going walkies.

The only security system ive got currently, is me exploding out into the street in my underpants wielding a crowbar in a deadly deadly rage.
effective, but obviously not the ideal sollution.

So, my brain formulates a plan. 0% cunning. Hopefully 100% effective. It goes a little something like this: Inbred retard dole-bairns hopped up on crack and blue flavour aldi pop dont care about slot mags, wellers etc, however, the shiny shiny dish on my wolfs (incorrect use of plural) may catch those scumbag eyes.
i have no secure parking, and my mates prettyy much all live in some right merde-pot areas. So I think a bit of dressing down of the awesome 8ball might be the best pre-emptive strike i can get in against the twocking scummers.

Mr Miaggi say: 'best way to win fight, is not be there at all.'
but im sure he would probly tell me
'best way to avoid kirring scum in road, is make car ress appearing rooking Ben-san'

Now that last bits quite racsist. But because its also funny, i think i should get a bit of slack there.

Thoughts anyone?

Minilights-younguns wouldn't know one if it slapped 'em in the chops.
Only downside is Steve P has an irrational dislike of 'em that even medical science has been unable to fathom :?

Wellers in my experience/youth were bought by the rally lads who couldn't afford RS alloys never mind Revolutions and had a loose driving style-when they clattered summit bring out the mash hammer and bray in straight :lol:
Don't like 'em personally.
Cheap for a reason.

The search of affordable minilights above 13in, in 4x100, is a road littered with the bones of men that have chewed off their own faces in frustration, then simply sat down and waited patiently to die though dude.
Its a world of pain man.

unless youve got three ton to ejaculate at them.

Stop making things complicated for yourself. Your car is looking really good, and now you're worried it looks too good? Don't worry about the "what ifs", otherwise you'll end up hiding in your basement for the rest of your life wearing a hard hat.

Fear of losing someone is integral to loving them - and it's the same with your 8Ball. So deal with it and enjoy your car. After all - if it does end up burnt out next to a derelict council estate, you can always build another one.

Proper Minilites were magnesium and are a grand a set if you can get some, if you can they need to be x-rayed due to hairline cracking in the metal not visible to the naked eye-everything else is a copy in one form or another.
The original minilite company went bust-the product was simply too good.Bought a set and they lasted and lasted and.............

Superlites,Minatours etc are all copies-copying is after all the sincerest form of flattery.

in the voice of Wayne Campbell:

'i did not know that.'

Well that accepted, theres certainly well finished, beautiful copies, and less beautiful, uglier jobs.

Think Mr Just Shut Up And Enjoy It there might be right like.

Just getting antsy.

This is the point in my car ownership where it normally gets stolen/written off/goes on fire/all of the above.
So im just starting to tense my jaw and wince in anticipation.

Waits for bolt of lightening......................

I dunno lol, a Mini/Super/Ultralite etc etc will stand out these days as being a ghey ass 'euro' wheel to the yoofs IMO.

They do rock though, no question. 7J min. though!

That's exactly why I bought Wellers lol. Don't want to spend much on bits for the car - still have another that needs $$ but ideal if a bump should occur. Break out the hammer, or worse case the MiG. 340pw

I do like minilights, its just not the wheel for 300's. It's just 13's are too small for the size of car, combined with low offset and relatively wide for their diameter make them look awkward - even when slammed.

Anyway, your car looks great as it is - not much I'd change!
