Can we get a “before” picture? I’ve literally no idea what it looked like.

Think I fiddled with the saturation and white balance on the after pic which is why it looks to have a blue tint.

Mito you may find this interesting as you are very hands on, the filters look extremely easy to change

Both. Although, on the old rims it shows how badly your car needs lowering, whereas on the silver wheels, it doesn't look quite so SUV-like.

Yes good tip for when it starts to smell. The yearly pad changes seem excessive, I use this product whenever I wash a
car

You can spray it straight on the brake discs and it stops them rusting during the wash, also spray it on the callipers and anything exposed to protect from corrosion when they salt the roads.

Need to find something for the shiny plastic centre console as the dog will ruin it. Don’t like the idea of faffing about with a wrap though, would prefer to find something which just sits in place like an iPhone case.

GG's car looks good on the new wheels. I am not a fan of dark wheels.

Lobster claws were OK at first but they've been ruined by idiots putting them on 996s where they don't quite fit right and always look crap.

I can't see that lobster claws look worse on a 996 - my objection to them is the number of holes in them. They just look a mess.

The offset too low on the rears, they end up sticking out too far.

I think so too, I prefer a silver wheel on a dark car and a dark wheel on a silver car on the whole. Both designs look good though it's just the colours for me.
