Got My New Wheels!

Logsi · 7 Dec 2006 at 14:51

Hey Guys!

I bought myself some better alloys!

Tell me what you think! I was trying to go for a ST look!

Getting it lowered sometime aswell as it is like driving a car on stilts now!

I was tempted to go for the WRC but i think it wouldn't suit the car!

PICS BELOW!

Hope you guys like em! I wasnt sure at first but is growing on me!

Thanks for looking

Josh

EDIT- Are the pics working for anyone else?

Heres thumbnails if the pics above dont work!

There you go!

Its because he is trying to link to a .png I think. Forums only do .gif and .jpg IIRC.

If you copy and paste the links they work, look nice too :cool:

.png works in sigs at least, dunno about in posts.

I think the wheels suit the car, doesnt look too bad at all..a nice side on shot would make them look better

Possibly, they end up huge

glad it works now though, they look good.

The wheels suit the car well but it'll look stupid until you lower it. It looks like it's on stilts at the minute

Malt_Vinegar · 7 Dec 2006 at 15:47

I think they look great!!!

lordrobs · 7 Dec 2006 at 16:01

Looks very tidy :cool:

Logsi · 7 Dec 2006 at 16:02

Thanks Guys for the comments! Really appreciate it!

I think ill have to do more time at work in between college to get the lowering done quicker!

You stick big wheels on, then you need to lower it. Then you upgrade other bits like exhuast etc - been there, done that.

Ask any modder, any real modder...

Nice car Josh. Manufacturer wheels ALWAYS go well with other cars. Even if you take ST170 wheels and put them on a Fiesta (they look ace on the ZS's) or like me, using MG ZR wheels on my Rover 200.

While i agree with you, i said to myself im not gonna do anymore to it aesthetics wise. I will not get a new exhaust unless it does significantly increase accleration, i guess im so used to boy racers with that strap on exhausts which sound horrible.

Is there a point in doing anything else to it though except lowering? Its more of a looker than a go-er in my eyes.

Josh

EDIT - I really like your wheels AGW! I was trying to source some ST150 wheels but they came to the same price as these OZ Superturismo's so i went with the OZ's!
