What have I done?!

Which ones?

Styling 24's.

I'm not a massive fan of the DoubleSpoke Ms to be honest, although they are good. The thing is I don't really want to make it look like an M car...but the M cars have the best styling. I'm quite undecided as to what I'll go for, whatever I want is going to cost more than the car cost me!

I'd like Style 5 splits (BBS splits), or Style 32s but they all go for £400+ (would be 17" that I'd get). Might look at others, but the only cheap ones are either reps or the 16" not all that nice ones.

Style 5's would look good. But those 24's will stand out on your car. If you don't want it to look like an M car, then Style 5's. Style 32's look cack.

Those BBS wheels will be a nightmare to keep clean.

Trust me, they work on an iS...

Granted Andy has 16s on his, but they certainly don't look cack.

That is an issue...a big one, especially with my current front pads that seem to give off more dust than a dust storm! I'd likely change the pads for much less dusty ones when I change the wheels anyway though. But keeping them clean (especially as most are polished and not lacquered) is something that would probably really annoy me. But then can get them redone in a coating that doesn't require polishing...still a pig to clean though.

After driving close to (maybe over in fact) 500miles with shafted front wheel bearing, today I replaced it. No photos of this unfortunately as I went to a friend's place to use some of his tools and we worked on the car rather than took photos.

Wheel is much better though, no noise, which is nice.

Also cleaned the engine with a steam cleaner...
