   white vts wheels look really good on black cars, gunmetal would also look great, buts its all about personal opinion tbh

   White wheels will really set the car off, black wheels if you want the stealth look and keeping to the black theme, either will look ace

    45mm front on eibachs, 50 mm rear Ive gone for, handles great and looks spot on imo. Mins a furio too so yours would look exactly like this

    Im not sure on white on black with tints?
    
    If you have the tints i think the stealthy look would be far better, vts wheels sprayed gloss black would look evil IMO

    Cheers mate.
    
    Cost 90 quid for the springs, from KamRacing.co.uk. My mate fitted them at his garage for a pint
    
    The rear I lowered myself, but it was complicated because my original axles torsion bars were seized. Theres a 99% chance yours will be too. But mine were badly seized so it was fooked, so I bought an axle of a 106 GTi and fitted that. So it cost me like 350 quid to lower the car, but it should only cost you 200-250 ish if you get a garage to lower it and the torsion bars can be unseized

    Its harder than std but you dont feel every bump in the road mate no. And theres hardly any body roll. On VTR rims that probably wouldnt cause rubbing no. Mines stripped out though, dont like having people in the back it fucks up the handling

    They came like it mate, but theyre not proper black, theyre a dark gunmetal colour which you can see a bit better here. Looks betterthan straight up black I reckon

    Nah I wont mate sorry. Will be next summer but not before. Theyre 14s, sure the ones on ebay arent VTS rims? You should expect to pay 150+ for black VTR rims with good tyres. Prob closer to 180, with postage on top.
    
    
    Best bet is to buy some silver ones with good tyres off ebay or a club, with lots of bubbling and a bit of kurbing for a bargain price. Then furb em yourself, easy to do. Can prob do it all for 100 quid.
