I agree about your comments on rims however there is still nothing out there for people like me that dont drive an out of the box car

I want 18x9" rims in 5x100 and +15mm at the front and 0mm at the rear so I can widen my car (I dont want spacers) closest I can get is wolfs
http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-par ... 971383.htm
that are 18X8 and 27mm all round which means I only have to roll/flare/lip my front and rear gaurds out 34mm more and I plan on running custom widened front gaurds and bare metal widen the rear

52mm wider at the front
67mm wider at the rear

with the custom rims means ill have 29mm clearence to my shocks and have my car nice and wide low and staunch with 245's

here are two things that immediately strike me as being worthy of mentioned for feedback.

1) you're using your business name, but not your businesses domain. I would suggest spending the couple hours it will take to learn how to migrate it to a wordpress install on blog.platinumwheels.co.nz (or whatever your domain is). Just looks and appears a bit more professional, plus wordpress is really, really flexible as a platform and later on down the track you will be able to use it to improve functionality of the blog.

2) The content is really jumbled and messy, instead of having images left-justified then right-justified amongst the text, have them act as a spacer between paragraphs.

Yeah we are currently building the new web site. we will be jamming it all into that site.

2) thats the point of a blog.. a little text a little words, it not a book or essay... just my ramblings on cars

Well to be frank, you are dreaming.

No wheel supplier would ever bring wheels in those fitments in, youd never sell them.

best suggestion is use adaptors with some 5x100 to 5x114 adaptors then get some 18x9 wheels. even do 18x9 front and 18x10 rears

Yes I understand that, but all I'm saying is that the way yours is presented is not exactly natural to follow.

Here's an example entry from my own blog, http://cabrafornia.com/2011/10/project- ... -fixation/

The content flows the same way your eyes do, and it's consistent.

You could run them on the gt4 celica and the subarus just means you need to run the gaurds etc wider

I have been priced up a set of custom rims but at 3700usd delivered there not cheap

[rollaholic]

crazy custom look = crazy custom price!

Nice Blog, really easy to read, I think the style of writing helps a lot too, will have to add it to my bookmarks!

[cogent]

Cheers. I've been a bit slack with content lately, have been too busy doing stuff instead of writing about stuff. Check back in the next few weeks, should be a big dump of the last 5 or 6 weeks where I've had media passes at ss2000 style events, chilled in the radical corp suite at eastern creek club days, pit crewed for a 300km enduro race and replaced a rb25det headgasket under deadline before a 2day drift event!

New post today..

Cogent, more what you mean??

That looks good Nick!

Would you consider possibly looking at changing your home page so that instead of it coming up with each story in full it could be more of a leader to each story. Would be a very speedhunters etc but just means the reader can flick past stories if they don't appear to be something they want to read then.

[tsoob]

hmmm il look into that...
