First of all Sorry Prajesh (and will keep in mind that you are not P Rajesh as in south Rajesh is a common name unlike Prajesh

).

Its in last June, I got my league alloys but when i came across the present set of HiJoin Racing (HR) wheels, i fell for it and thought it was time for a change (Yes ! You read it right) I changed them in just 9 months (hehehehe i can understand the pregnant pause).

The old ones

The new ones are here .....Aint they awesome? @least to me they are

Please post a daylight pic of the car with those new alloys.

MAV dude awesome never thought white will look so good on a black alto. But we need to see a daylight and full side profile pic of car.

Also are u using the old tyres or are tyres also new ? and what happened to the old rims ?

Yea The white alloys look good on black and i have got the brake calipers and the drum too painted red and have red nuts now to compliment it.

I am using the same set of tyres as they are also only 9 months old and are in a pretty good condition. The old alloys were taken by one of my friend who is planning to get on his alto.

what is with these 4 spoke rims nowadays

?

sorry vj i liked your earlier rims better. i just dont like 4 spokes. maybe a daylight pic can change my opnion.

VJ_MAVRICK · 4th March 2008, 10:21

hahaha no problem akki bhai ..i will post the daylight pics soon as i am caught up @ work. Well i liked these because the white alloys suit well (@least i feel) on my black alto.
Apparently i used some nuts on the old ones which got rusted and it was not looking good to me and so got the new ones painted (yea i know! they might as well get cleared off the paint) to go with the white ones.

I will post the pics soon.

VJ_MAVRICK · 4th March 2008, 19:46

Ok here comes some more pics in daylight

kpzen · 4th March 2008, 21:36

Nice.

Wouldn't the calipers and drum in yellow look better than red for a black car? eh! Just my opinion i'm not sure.

VJ_MAVRICK · 5th March 2008, 09:20

Thanks Prajesh ! I was not sure how it would look with yellow and i did not want to take a chance and maybe if i get bored with this red ,will then check that buddy.
