Default spy shots of n1ko with out stockies

Have decided to give the stockies a break, was going to bring it along sat night but have been offered a lift in a much beastier car than mine

They are the EL Saphire rims, nothing special but bolted them up last night, 3 have g3 potenza's 215's they handle very nice and feel softer than the stockies which were 205's

You should invest in some NL repeaters.

stock el fairmont rims = crap

these are similar to the el gli caps and i don't mind them, as i stated in the thread, im giving the stockies a rest, have some silica tyres on the front that were copping some camber so they get a holiday for the moment

Niko I would've gone for some Tickfords or EL Ghias.
I don't see these rims staying on your car very long they make it look like a Sapphire.
