Ive still got my s3 caprice rims lol .

I would kill for a set of caprice rims......they are very hard to find (none for sale in SA atm)

These will do for now, if I ever find a set I will snatch them up

Please don't save up for Speedy Malibus, they just look so cheap and nasty. If you want that look, get some ShowWheels Streeters. Yes everyone has them, but that's because they are sexy as ####.

Thinking of dynamatting the boot area as people in the US with in cabin drone do this and seems to work quite well.

I did alot of reading up when I was thinking about sound deadening the cabin of my WK (it creates alot of road noise due to shyte tyres) apparently dynamat is the expensive way of doing it. Alot of people are recommending using Formshield (Clark Rubber) and/or Combination Butyl/Foam sound deadener (available from Jaycar)

yeah, I just say dynamat as a generic term as everyone knows it.

I have a contact that does a much much cheaper alternative.

crap pic from this evening but you get the idea

So nice to have standard tyres again (I hate low profiles) feels Cadillac smooth now

Thinking some white walls or 16" white wall inserts are in order

Also getting some statesman center caps made up.

Those wheels and some white walls will look way better than 90% of aftermarket wheels, nice choice
