Decent wheel suggestions?

Post by MadManMike »

Right, soon to be acquiring a GT (When someone sells up)... Looking for 13" wheels, was gonna get ATS Classics but my mate's gonna beat me to it (captain_starlet got a GT last week for 325)...

So, nice 13's please? No 14's please :)

Lowered 60/40 should be quite slammed me thinks :P

You could also get some wide weller 12 hole steels for the sleepy look, and with a 7" width available, with a decent drop they should look rather smart with some 175/50 stretched rubber.

Nice ideas, the compo's are out of my wallets range though to be honest.

How much are the wide steelies Karl?

Do you reckon matt black "spokes" with gold rim would look good or tacky on the steelies?

If I were to get 13x7's, and it was dropped 60 at the front 40 at the back wouldn't that give me hardcore scrubbage?

I don't want to be mashing the arches up to fit them either to be honest...

Sorry for all the questions...

You're just in luck...

A set matching that description are for sale here: http://www.porka.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8779

If not, get on google and search for "Weller Wheels" (I dont have the address to hand).

Weller always did make s**t wheels (rust like hell and crack on the welds) £200 he'll be waiting till hell freezes!!!!

At that price I'd go and buy brand new 15" G60 Steelies only have one set of bolt holes and get em powdercoated black same day

at least get value for money that way 8) and still be under £200

Anyway I guess thats not an option as they are 15's but they'd sure look good!!!

Yeah gotta be 13's i'm afraid...

Still thinking about ATS classics, but waiting for captain_starlet to make his mind up (Can't cruise with the same wheels now can we?)

(This is MadManMike on g/f's account btw)
