Just thought I'd share this with you guys, coz it made me feel good today, like Christmas in July from Forge Wheels! Some of you might know I'm running a group buy over on AFF for some custom forged wheels based on the GT 335/Rspec wheels. Today we got 2 new versions from Ty for us to review and discuss! What do you guys reckon?


Me, personally, I think either Version 2 or 3 is a winner...they look amazing! My initial response to version 1 was to umm and ahhh a bit, but my first thought when I saw versions 2 and 3 was "THAT'S ******* RAD!!!" :notworthy I think at this stage I'm leaning more towards version 3, very classy looking wheel and a closer representation to what the group buy started as, an OEM+ design! I think version 3 captures that pretty bloody well.

Ty's photoshopped 4 different colour combos onto PLAYRZ car for us to see. He's put a disclaimer saying that these are all 20" wheels...and that he, personally, would choose 20's. Again, I'm in two minds. The 20's look fantastic! But I'd be wanting to stick with 35 front tyre profile and 30 rear profile to maintain some sidewall and ride comfort...which means my overall diameter would increase by around 30mm or more, putting them outside the legal limit :doh But...they just look so damn good!

First payslip in new company, at new salary and level.. Ooooooo baby..

Also that they scrapped monthly pays and now only pay allowances and OT monthly..

So only got a fortnight base salary payslip.. But it's so pretty..

Probably just enough money for the dealership to fix the wife's f*cking car..

First drive of the car in four days after having a bout of the flu. SO good to be behind the wheel again! Started perfect, revved perfect, sounded great and even felt faster than normal...checked out my sweet rims/brakes/tint during various trips to the car at site...had my new custom mix CD of all fave songs going and it gave me one of my all time fave artists Daft Punk all the way home...old couple on the road side were walking in beat to "Da Funk" hahaha. Not even the "overtake you and cut you off right at the exit" b¡tch SUV driver could dampen my spirits for long as she picked the wrong lane at the red lights and was a dozen cars back at the green (suffer) :)

Got home, parked it up in the garage again, popped the boot and lifted it with one finger ease thanks to my new gas struts, grabbed out my rag and gave the exhaust tips a quick shine (rolled tips looking good!) and walked inside. 10/10

Hahaha. This was like an inverse week for me. Normally I drive 5 or 6 days, then the Lord resteth on the 7th.
