pics of my AB/AB MC...now with GP wheels

Here are some pics of my new ab/ab mc. Fitted new wheels today, so now it really needs lowering.
Is there any coilovers available?
what you think?

Looks nice mate.

Did you have trouble getting hold of genuine GP wheels? Or are they replicas?

James.

Itīs replicas. Ok it would have been nice with genuine GP wheels, but I can have so much fun for the money I saved.

Agreed. I have seen a few lowerd R56's on this site now, and they look great! Really improves the looks of the car and gets rid of the appearance that the car is on stilts. (IMO)

How does the replica weight compare with the original GP wheel (which I think is just under 19lb)?
