18/01/03 09:55 AM18/01/03 09:55 AM #12 The 17's design in an 18 would look good wouldnt they B)the other way round IMO I actually prefer the 18's design as well but for 2 g's upfront plus the replacement rubber costs, I simply couldn't justify it. It's not as if the 17's aren't a nice looking wheel in their own right.

18/01/03 10:27 AM18/01/03 10:27 AM #14 I like the 18's. But with leather, sun roof and all the other bits and pieces I had to draw the line somewhere.

I like Premium Brakes too, I like side airbags, I like SatNav, but they missed out too (unfortunately).I don't like the rumours of a longer delay though :( Simon....

18/01/03 12:23 PM18/01/03 12:23 PM #17 I love the 18's, wish I got them.A different colour (Darker) would have been nice as well to try and disguise some of that aweful brake dust I'm forever cleaning off them. haha
18/01/03 12:43 PM18/01/03 12:43 PM #18 Speaking of brake dust.How is it we all (some) have brand new cars but they all have rust on the disc's straight from the factory??
18/01/03 12:47 PM18/01/03 12:47 PM #19 Sounds like iron rather than steel discs. The advantage being braking performance in the wet.This used to be a thing with Ducati motorcycles. Looked daggy but were really good when needed. And they were Brembos too.

Otherwise the same.By the way it was Phantom or Mercury Silver for me. That silver is really classy. Yes, I'm 100% on the colour. Phantom was good, as was Narooma Blue, but Mercury Silver's the long term colour for me.To respond to someone else's brake dust statement, I'm with you! I have black marks in my carport from where the front wheels sit and I've washed the front rims time and time again, getting rid of the dust. $900 worth of dust... :o Simon....
