So, sometimes people say to me: "Hey Rogue, I hear you've got some big ideas for the MR2 Roadster. But just how big are they?"
And I say: "They're this big:"
So they say: "Sure, that's pretty but how big is it? I need some kind of context"
And I say: "Well, they're about this tall..."
"...and about this wide:"
And then they go on to say things about handling and tyre prices and the speedo being about 9.6% out and I put my fingers in my ears and say:
"la-la-la-la-la-la-can't-hear-you-la-la-la-la-la"

I'm looking for a reliable supplier for black elastic bands... Hopefully at least these wheels will be visible in the arches - the old 18x7's didn't fill them out as much as I'd hoped:

Bloody hell Patrick!!
Saying that, they look huge in the first pics but after seeing the arches they're going to fill i'm not so sure.

Re: How big is BIG?
Lovely wheels Patrick, if you need me to bed them in while you transform the toy into something more aggressive I'm happy to fit them to my car
I was very close to getting a set myself but went practical and opted for boring bits instead..... do you have an ETA on the car being ready?
Chaps - do you know if Thor are fully booked up on Sat?
I could do with getting my SAFC fitted and setup, I suspect it's too short notice though
Maybe I'll give them a bell, need to get booked in sometime anyway, just thought it would make a more interesting day out.
