Yeah, I'm not really a fan of those rims, or any others that Arden has shown.
I'm not a fan of those rims either.............there's just too much of them is you know what I mean?
No nice spokey type design to show off the brakes / calipers etc!
Thats my thoughts anyway.

Man.........I'm just soooo into my X at the moment Aquill.......I seem to be spending every waking minute on it...lol

What'd you think of the valve caps? I'd prefer Jag ones but they only seem to have them with the green leaper......doesn't really go with the colour scheme[&:]

Lol........Its an anti theft device Caddie. A lot of the youngsters like to steal them and fit them onto their bikes to jazz them up a bit....It can get quite annoying and expensive[&:]
Fit the valve cap onto the thread n tighten, then take " the screw driver thingy" ....lol............and put into "hole" to tighten the little locking screw in there and Bingo.........no more missing valve caps[sm=happy046.gif]

Detailed the A6 today......looks great
I used the Sonus tyre dressing gel and the Sonus Total eclipse interior detail spray. Wow!!
These products are fantastic.....A much better finish that back to black n the like and no stickiness. Just a nice matt black finish

Anyway.......the delivery from Wurth came a short while ago so I'm off to refinish my rims

Thanks Buck
I also had ones prior to this, the hexagon ones that you could tighten with a spanner or similar. Came back to the car one day after my sons football to see 3 kids scarpering from my car on their bikes. They musta had bloody pliers or sumthin[&:].......3 of em were gone[:@][:@]
No probelms this far with this type.
I also have the chrome ones Buck with the Jaguar leaper in green. I really woulda liked to have kep them Jag to be honest, but the green just doesn't go with the Zircon, for me anyway.
Cant wait to get my refurbed rims back on the car ( wait till you see them Buck, they're really good and look OEM too ) calipers painted, wheel wells cleaned and valve caps on......should look great. This weekend all being well.......I'll take picutres.......just dont be too critical or you'll hurt my feelings...lol

Hey bigs I like the jag green with any color of jag...they have to go considering thats jags color...I was looking at those arubas cuz they were cheap! Like I was getting 3 rims and a lot of tire tread left on the tires for like 300 I think...but the guy never called me back...thats the only reason I was considering rims at that point...now its other things that are more important at this point...

I had those on the car Aquill and wasn't too keen on them. I loved the Jaguar emblem but not the green colour.....just doesn't match for me anyway.
Shame bout those rims bud[&:]
