looks nice mate, ditch the rims!

ok so I'm thinking of maybe getting my wheels refurbed for a different look on them.

options

1. lose the diamond cut face and full spray black with VW centre caps

2. insides of wheel done same colour as car

3. fully white and vw centre caps

what do you think?

and 195/45/r15 tyres comin this week

might look ok in white. get the 195/45's on and wind it right down.

ok anyone with photoshop can u possibly take the picture of the wheel and photoshop it against the above 3 options and send them back on this thread thanx

right so a bit of a reply to those who disagree with my wheels, i have now got my 195/45/r15 tyres, and the wheels are stayin plus i like them wheels and i think they suit the car.

its a 1 litre so what is the point in putting a set of bbs wheels, isnt that why VW themselves didnt pay the money to put bbs on it as standard?

at the end of the day its up 2 me how i modify this car and I'm still tryin to set up my suspension so its good enough for me, also now available is my 195/50/15 tyres name a price and i may accept

rant over

Maybe the wheels fully painted black?

i dont actually mind the wheels. the tyres made them loot daft

will look bett on the 195/45's

now get it wound down. no reverse rake please :-)

hiya guys again

just a litlle update. had a look at my car today because of erratic idling and found out its my vacuum pipes leaking, bad, i know. so got to go to hellfrauds for some new pipes, new tyres have arrived and they are Nankang NS-2 195/45R15 will post pics when they are up so watch this space.

Reverse Rake:

Which, everyone knows, makes the baby jesus cry

A bit of nose down, however, is much nicer!

hiya thanks for the replies on rake,

new update have put tyres on wheels no pics as of yet as I'm now hunting for one new wheel after on of the wheels slipped straight of the tyre machine and scratched it so much beyond possible repair. once the new wheel arrives pics will be up but the car wont be lowered anymore till new insurance day!

and thats that, i know it needs to go lower!!

did you have a monkey fitting your tyres or something?
