BRAND New rims... update. Now gone in for a refurb, after a week of ownership!!!!!!!

[MCook]

That looks daft mate, sorry.

 

You don't need rolled arches, you need wheels that fit. I mean, they're a nice style and all (and I normally don't like aftermarket wheels), but they look like Lego toy wheels like that.

 

Each to there own, I agree that the rears look a bit out of place. I am chuffed with how the fronts look and think the rims style really suits the car.

 

Like I said, once I change/add a few things I think I can get them to look right.

[MCook]

What size/width are your rear wheels? and what size tyres do you have on?

 

18 x 10.5, with 275 35 zr18

[Grundy]

Also, you don't need supporting mods for these...it just needs to literally be scraping the floor to look right.

[Ekona]

Like I said, I do like the style and the fronts are fine, it's the rears that look silly. As Payco said, you really needed to do the body first I think.

 

I'm no expert, but can you even roll the arches that much to cope with those? Genuine question, it's not something I get into.

[StevoD]

can someone screenshot the pictures so i can see them haha

you can do but run the risk of putting a crease in it

 

Be better with these

[WINKJ]

sorry mate, the fitment on the rear is terrible. surely will have a bad affect on the car handling?

[StevoD]

Everyone going funny about the fitment

 

(assuming there 10.5 j et 5 on the rear)

 

Grundys stick out a hell of alot more

[MCook]

If I had not posted that last image I doubt I would be getting any negative feedback :cry: :cry: :cry:

 

They look fine in the rest

Desperately needs lowering which will tuck the wheels in and it will look smart.

When you lower the car, the tops will be naturally pulled in due to camber, mine does this, i have 10.5J on rear also

[370Ad]

At least you haven't gone cheap on the tyres like a lot of people do with aftermarket wheels.

[StevoD]

yea grundys pokes alot more

 

i agree with ekona it does look alot like a lego/hot wheels cars

 

But coilovers and a lip and if needed a tad more stretch look lovely imo

[Grundy]

It's all about dat poke, bout dat poke.

did you learn that in your new book

But then you need camber correction arms, else you'll be running on just a tiny part of the tyre and chew through them really quickly. I thought you had the correction arms on yours matey?

[Payco]

Sorry, still doesn't work for me. They look wrong in my eyes.
