They look suppper!! To be honest i have never been a fan of PG but these wheels have transformed the looks,and HOW!

I missed the install but hope to see it in flesh soon.

Btw,what size tyres do u hv on?And did u manage to get hold of a spare wheel?
245/35/19 in the front and the 285/35/19 on the Rear .. no spare wheel; I think I will have to pick it up from the dealer and pay 20K

Saifee told me he can source a spare single rim with the same offset and size for 1/4th the price so check with him before you take the plunge.

Speak to the main chap who was there that morning...not sure what his name is...i told him i will be shifting to tubeless after my rfts wear out and would need a spare so he said he can source a 17inch one for around 5000rs but wasnt sure of the offset.

Tuff luck on the rims, like they say "kiski buri nazar lag gayi" ...dont worry abt it, if u feel too bad get it touched up with paint.
