Got me some shiney stuff! :D

RiPz · 10 Jun 2006 at 12:52

mmmmmmm, shiney

£280.03 for the alloys.. £180 for the rubber (ordered some Conti SportContacts)

cant wait to get the things on now =[

Gilly · 10 Jun 2006 at 12:54

What car they going on.

Agreed though, very shiny

RiPz · 10 Jun 2006 at 12:55

my mini (currently needs paint, had to get the alloys first though because they're 4 inches wider than standard, so the arches need cutting so they dont rub at lock/lock)

Trifid · 10 Jun 2006 at 12:55

They look like Mini wheels to me.

Ooo shiney though.

RiPz · 10 Jun 2006 at 12:57

I'd get some better photos, but there is a scarce supply of AA batteries for my camera, some bright spark at JVC seems to think AAA batteries are better suited in TV remotes than AA - :rolleyes:

13x8s?

Look good man - good luck with the tramlining though

RiPz · 10 Jun 2006 at 13:05

13x7's =]

i wont be staying on the inside lane much, tramlining shouldnt be a problem

, i'll be out in the BMW lane at 70.1mph annoying Fox

thats only 3" wider than standard then

Tramlining has nothing to do with the motorways, unless that was some joke i didnt get

13s ruin the handling, but they do have the whole looks thing going on

12x6s for the win!

they dont 'ruin' the handling, they just change it.. some people like 10x6's over anything else, but that just makes the turn in less precise, its all about preference :>

and anyway, 13x7's look 100000% better

Lets not start a debate

13s look good but dont handle nearly as well as the rest of them

Any pics of your car?

Passengers are over-rated and slow you down anyway.
