Sorry for the crap photos as its hard to see gloss black wheels with no sun light! Plus they're iPhone photos!
A big thanks to John @ etyres. If your in Lincolnshire and want new tyre give John a ring. He's a top chap and I would trust anyone else with my new wheels! He takes a lot of time and care with his work a true proffesional 07545 425843.
I'll try and get some more photos when/if its ever sunny this summer.

I love the way your going about things with this, instead of just mapping it with no thought of anything else.
Power and handling is even more fun 
This will be a top overall car when it's got the power to go with the rest of what you're building. I like cars tuned like this, not skipping the handling mods and just getting a remap and calling it a day. I can fully vouch for pushing an LCR into fast sweeping country road bends and having a flat cornering car with bundles of torque to really have some fun. Diffs proper help you get that power down than understeering your way out near to a curb on the exit, they just pull you through cleanly don't they
The wheels look good mate. Black looks best against yellow or the red LCR's imo. On the Godspeed two piece discs, I'm looking forward to seeing how you get on. That's a good price, and from what I remember is far cheaper than the Badger5 two piece kit? Correct me if I'm wrong though. My mate locally who works for a good independent garage has the Badger5 two piece kit and really rates it. He has been nudging me to do it for a year. I ended up just replacing the single piece discs for EBC in the end but don't think I will next time.

Looking forward to it all coming together, what's the plan? Track, fast road toy etc?

Thanks Tom a cars got to handle and stop well for me more than have the power.
The wheels don't look bad but I bought them for the weight saving more than anything else.
Thanks can't wait to get them fitted!Love the wheels mate, coilovers will finish the look for sure
Thanks Barn I've spent more lately than I should of! It'll probably stay as a road car but you never know.
You really are doing some great work on this. Will be a weapon once complete, keep it up dude
Although I wish everyone would stop buying new wheels I want some

Thanks Rich. It doesn't look much but it going to be all going on under the skin. It looks no where as good as your car does.
I finally got around to removing the front bumper and replacing the broken grills.
New grills bonded on
I managed to pull the wing out and refit the bumper so it looks ok. So that's new S badge and grill, new grills either side of the S badge, new fog light grills and new splitter all fitted.
I'm still struggling to get a decent photo of the wheels, this is as good as I can't get it!

This car is a great LCR example, you will love the drive home. Should get the power down well too with the mounts and coilies. Can you ask Alex if he still has a deal on those mounts please.
Thanks that's high praise. Alex ordered two sets extra that he still has not sold. You need to buy a set!
Oh hello handling!!
Good work going on here. Enjoy the drive home mate.
Thanks Tom. I had a good drive home but gave the back roads a miss as I was shattered. A WRX tried it on around a round about but it didn't stand a chance.
It feels like a different car now, a big thumbs up to Alex he certainly knows his stuff.
I'll add a little more when I've had some thing to eat and digested the day.
