Steelies Have Finally Gone, Shall Be Missed

Featured Replies

Hey People :3

The other day i was like hmmm, i need some new wheels for A. looks and B. grip.

I browsed eBay for wheels, 4x100, under £100, under 100 miles and i saw them 'Audi 80 Wheels'. £25 quid bid, £75 buy it now, i emailed him asking if i could come pick them up that night for 50, he said yes :3.

went to Cirencester and picked them up, legendary bloke.

The tyres that came with them weren't too bad but they were 185/60/14's and i tried it on the rear of my car and if i went over a bump, the inner-arch bit would have eaten my tyre wall so i knew i needed 4 something smaller. Because my dad works for Avon/Cooper tyres i got 4 165/60/14's for like 43quid each and then 30% discount :3. Got them all wrapped up yesterday and i can already for the difference. The grip on my steeles (135's) were literally hilarious, every roundabout or tight corner, just slideeeee.

I Sprayed the wheels gloss black and then i went to do the centre gloss black but they came up really dull, so i thought 'allow this' and i went and bought 4 different colour spray paints and sprayed them each a different colour (OH NO I'M NOT ORIGINAL, THIS HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE....IDC).

Now time for a picture story :3 (some of the photos aren't great due to iPhone camera and then awful lighting on the 'proper' photos)

Looks good Alex :)

They look quite oem which is good too :)

looks pretty sweet actually. nice work

fucking sick!

BUT.......... Think they would look better all the same colour :smirk:

The blue looks awsome, think you should do them all that :-D

Also prox, i think you should raise the back up a notch or two. Get some rake on , will have a much better stance mate.

Max.

I reckon you should sand back the top face, ATS classic style! Look proper nice then!!

Good stuff though mate!

would be pretty cool if you sprayed the dust caps the same colour as the centre caps :)

These look awesome dude!

Think the centers look good as they are. All blue would still look cool though. That green is a well cool colour too.

I rele like that colour man!!! Wheels are cool too :thumbsup:

That looks brilliant. Properly spot on.

I'd drive that more so than my motor...

smart... really like that! keep it as is, looks really nice.

only thing you could change is to sand back the Audi off the top of them, but still looks nutz :)

Awesome guys.

loving the feedback, makes me feel good that my effort has paid off :D

i'ma huge fan of my car

Alex

Looks awesome mate. Bargain too!

Love the little touches on the car, look sweet :D

The work has paid off :)

nice job on the wheels, really work well with the car. often wondered what they would look like on a polo, thought they might look a bit fussy, but they dont.

was gonna buy those wheels myself, as they werent far away from me.

BTW Alex, never been a massive fan of breadies but that is lovely.

They suite the car nicely and as above paint the centre caps blue!

Btw...it looks like you got a bargain there ;)

10 points :thumbsup: they suit the car quite well

looks rude man, they do look sort of OEM like someone previously said.

saweeeeeet. :)

looks cool as fuck
