My wife had a dream of setting up a blogshop. After months of preparation and photoshoots etc, the blog is finally ready! After launching at 9pm last night, she got her 1st customer committing her purchases. So happy for her!

I also have dreams. My first dream car is Pajero Mini, while my 2nd one is a Peugeot 206cc. About few years ago (maybe 5 years?), I notice a very nice rims when I was still driving my Peugeot 206cc. The problem with 206cc is that its very hard to find rims. I usually tell people, its not you find rims but rather rims find you. Although I am still contented with my BBS RZ522, I tried to search for this rims. Checking all its specifications, I am certain that there isn't any for my Peugeot with PCD 108mm. Well, I still like my BBS RZ, so I'm still ok.
Changing to Colt Version R, I decided to check the rims specifications again. Thinking that its a Japanese rims, should be able to fit Japanese cars... To my slight horror, they don't have 4 hole PCD 114.3mm. Sianz. They made it for normal Colt with PCD of 100mm and not 114.3mm. :(
Now comes Jetta. HAVE! "Ho Seh Liao!" but why didn't I change in the beginning? Cost is the main factor. And also I don't know if I wanna stay on 18" or 17" (stock rims 16"). Decide not to commit on a high purchase and thus bought an Audi A1 Sports "original" rims (I used to call it RS5 replica, cos RS5 original spec is 19" (they have 20" similar design too), while A1 sports is 18"). My previous rims is NICE! I like it. but it just doesn't suit my car colour. Maybe its because my car is too dark and thus not much contrast. I think it will looks nicer with white, red or yellow car. Well, I decide to sell it to fund my Advan RS next.
Although I sold my previous sets of rims, the Advan is still slightly out of reach. Decide to sell one of my lens to fund my purchase. Thus, there goes my Nikon AFD 85mm f1.4. :(
Talked to much liao I think.. photos should be up next... Hope those Google-ed "Advan RS Jetta" can have some feel of how it will looks like on a Jetta (too many Golfs, WRXs & Evos images with this rims). Ok, here's the pics
Hmmm, now the car looks more stock... :)
