Generic Kronenbourg bottle for easy size comparison.

How much did you pay for them again? Bit of a bargain wasn't it?

Gatsby · 8 Apr 2006 at 12:34

What car are they going on?

Mickey_D · 8 Apr 2006 at 12:34

If we're talking width, I would say yes. But if we're talking diameter, I got you beat!!

penski · 8 Apr 2006 at 12:35

The money shot:

That's 7x15" fronts with 10x15" rears. The rears have SIX INCHES of dish! The fronts a mere 2.5"

I keep looking at them and grinning.

Diameter is nothing. Width is what is important...Ask any woman.

PS: They're going on a Chevette...or possibly TopSecretProjectNumber2

penski · 8 Apr 2006 at 12:36

Oh...And I'll be getting shot of those tyres and fitting some 225/40/15s.

They are awesome! Look so much better than in the other pic. Look at those tyres

Mickey_D · 8 Apr 2006 at 12:40

Heh, I've got 4 275/70/R15's on the truck right now!!

And looking to get some 33/13.50/15's this summer!!

And you're putting those on a Chevette?!?!?!? :eek:

Holy GRIP, Batman!!! WRX ain't gonna' have nuthin' on you in the twisties!!

geiger · 8 Apr 2006 at 12:40

Arent they way too much for the chevette, they do look good though

As it stands, yes.

I'll have to pull the arches on the rear at the least...Probably fit new ones.

The fronts will fit no problem.

Tyres = 265/50/15.

You have a set of wheels like that, yet you haven't taken them out to the car and done as shot with them alongside

Poor show i must say!

You know, thinking about it now, I agree!!

But I'll have to check back later. It's almost 7:00 AM. Time for me to head to bed. Enough of this Friday night party time!!

It might look awesome but it would overwhelm the steering and suspension feel I think. The backend doesnt need the grip does it.

Juts wondering if its just because you can or because you especially want/need to.

Your end up looking like popeye parking the car with those on

I got them because they were a bargain...

...If things pan out as planned with the Shuv, it will have a lovely V8 in it.

...If not, I have awesome wheels in one of the most popular fitments evor.

*Pulls keks back up and quietly leaves, thought something different. :/

geiger · 8 Apr 2006 at 12:56

haha, with a V8 I can see why you'd need them :eek:

Kreeeee · 8 Apr 2006 at 12:56

Phwoar!

Love that style of wheel/rim combination. Good taste old bean.

Jonny69 · 8 Apr 2006 at 13:01

IainB lays claim to the biggest one on the forum with his 15x15's and I think he's got 18.5" wide Mickey T's on them

Doesnt every household have a set of these just laying around?

saitrix · 8 Apr 2006 at 13:02

Those are really really really nice. :eek:
