New wheels

g60dubster · 6 Jul 2010 at 18:48

Finally got my new wheels fitted after sorting the front arches and liners so they don't rub at all. Just playing round with rear spacers to get the ideal offset

just need to get the front end painted as it's quite tatty in places (front bumper has never been touched)

It would appear that someone has sold you a set of incorrect width tyres.

I quite like it

an inch lower and its spot on for me ;] but then again.. i like when it touches the speedbump :O

Playing with offset will affect the suspension geometry, so you will need a full geo alignment. But sort out the tyres before doing that obviously.

That's gonna get a lot of hate here probably..... but I like it :cool:

Are those wheels genuine? If they are, surely they are worth more than the car? :confused:

Oh dear.

You of all people should understand the concept of modding

I like the car in the OP. Good choice of wheel.

Yeah I learnt the hard way, its a complete waste of time and money and that you should just buy a better car in the first place

I was nearly conned into thinking that the car was in Germany, until I read the English sign.
Think it looks silly personally, but as long as you like it who cares ?

Looks good but I'd run it with a GB plate personally.

A little too much stretch for me, but I still rather like that.

degen · 6 Jul 2010 at 19:44

What are the legalities of stretching a tyre over the rim like that ?

Why on earth would anyone want to do that?

Rotty · 6 Jul 2010 at 19:52

doesn't do it for me but as long as you like it

I don't think there are any issues?

Part of me likes it. Part of me wishes it has at least 200bhp to match the looks. Does it?
