Didnt opt for the 18's in the end i called Topgear on Monday and said i wanted 17's. Couldnt get them in flat black either so chose gunmetal which in all honestly is black but metallic. :blink:

No Toyos either.. :( but yoko parada spec 2's...a bloody nice tyre to compliment the Rota wheel :D

I cant get over that second pic they look nothing like that colour...lol

Anyway....have a close look at the cailpers....The chrome allenkey bolts and bleed nipple are no longer chrome!

Ive emailed apex asking why the bolts have started to rust and loose their chrome plate
after only 2 months!!...im not a happy man :angry:
