MCook Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 My car came with 20" Jade R alloys when I bought it, I am now contemplating whether or not I should keep them and get them refurbished (I admit, in my first few weeks of driving they did meet a few curbs. One incident I did catch on my GoPro, it was not pretty.) or sell up and find some new shoes. Along with the curbing damage the front drivers side has a dent, which I believe is causing the tyre to slowly deflate, I have been pumping it up weekly but I do not let it go below 25 psi before doing so. I love the look of the wheels on my car, but if I go down the refurb route I have been thinking about colours... Mainly graphite or gunmetal, or does the silver on silver stay?! I was wondering if anyone who has the same alloys may have some 'inspirational' images, perhaps them in a different colour? The only thing I do not like about the look of mine at the moment are the tyres as they are to small for the alloys, mainly the rear which are stretch quite a bit. Here is a picture as she is at the moment.. Here is a quick Photoshop of the possibility.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouthwash Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Personally not a fan of 20" wheels so I would be inclined to switch them out, also car looks a little odd with the rear stretched and the front not are the tyre sizes the same? I think there was a black zed on here somewhere with black Jade R alloys on, maybe someone knows where to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was a black zed on here somewhere with black Jade R alloys on, maybe someone knows where to find it. I have to admit, at times I do think they look out of place, and a bit too much. As for new alloys I would not know where to start... too much choice...............! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCook Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Thinking about the 19" rota grid drifts in steel grey....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 The Grids in Steel Grey look excellent, have a look at the ones we supplied for Gareth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrunouk Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) My Zed came with the same alloys but my wheels all have stretched tyres. I have kerbed them numerous times and am in the same predicamanet.. I have been given prices to referb them of £70 per wheel, but I am possibly considering these below (vortex alloys with a nice deep dish for the rear wheels): They look sexy as hell!!!... So just waiting until after winter to buy them and flog the Jade-R's. Edited November 10, 2014 by jbrunouk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrunouk Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hey Guys... No choice for some as was on the car when I bought it... Same as Mcook... Previous owners obvious had some issues. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 19s with dish for a great look - 18s for the extra rubber if pushing on. 20's if you want your car to look like a roller skate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrunouk Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Go for 19 inch Volks Agree, but get yourself ready for some open wallet surgery! Now the 19 Volks look amazing but 'open wallet surgery'... sounds like a crazy priced set of rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
