Bit of a wheel whore.. Moved on from the banded steelies in a matter of days!

Don't like them, Don't fit, Don't have ;)

..But seriously, they are my temps ;D

New wheels are a bit different from the pattern so far...

I've done a photoshop of what I'm hoping to acheive..

Team Dynamics, Pro race 1.2, 185 45 15s and spacers.

What do we all think?

    Looking sweet mate, you certainly know how to mod cars. Definitely stick with the turbos

Purple power ftw!!

Team dynamics look rad, although i hope its not reverse raking like that!

A touch of reverse rake looks alright on the 6n2s

It's not like thats going to throw my weight distribution out so much that I can't corner :lol:

I'm back on the ronals y'all ;)

They're going grey, they've had tyres stretched on them and look mint, I'll upload pics when i get them.

Cars back on the ground ;)

Okay, so I've put the car back on ronal turbos.

these ones are going some shade of dark colour, I'm thinking grey, but maybe black or close to..

Tyres are stretched on these, 175 50 15s. Very nice stretch, not too much like most!

Clean, tidy and spot on! happy days.

I'm against reverse rake, as most, but in my cars case it makes the car from the rear look better, and it looks to sit flat from the side, Its great.

And if you're talking about it because of performance values, you do realise that maybe 10mm of reverse rake does literally nothing to the weight distribution.. I'm not a race driver and this way it sits nicely, And you, having stretched tyres say that reverse rake is a problem, when you don't even have the correct amount of tyre touching the ground :lol:

Nah the banded steelies had a high offset, as they were widened steels.

Spacers would have pushed them far too far out

this is miiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnttttttttttt :thumbsup: only thing i dont like is the black washer jet caps

Never usually like ronal turbo's, but now they're not polished they looks sweet. I've got one of these now, had it about a month, I love mine.

Here's mine, might see you about :)

Ah sweet dude!

yeah I'm not much of a fan of the tacky polished look on them, its just not a great job like it could be..

Sound man, Definately give me a shout if you're going to any meets or anything, sovag soon!

Looks well on the Ronals dude! As said the washer caps look a bit random and maybe loose the bonnet bra? Keep up the work though! I gti swapped mine. Big change from a 1.4 8v!
