My new wheels

Hiya ppl

well i fitted my new wheels today and here they are, not to everyones taste probably but i thought i'd try something abit more retro for the winter.

I have very little information about them all i know is that they are made in Belgium and are about 15 years old so im really pleased with the condition of them after a wash and wax!

yes it needs lowering badly (it use to be but the coilovers seized up

)
but im kinda liking the perched up look for the time being

comments welcome!

Cheers
-Ben-

there pretty damn retro!!

the tyres are just a tad high on the profile for my liking,

just wondering, was there make up rings on hubs,stopping you fitting wheels,
mmmm different, as tim_gti says lower profile tyres would make a lot of difference to style

I'm with Phil on this one, really don't like them Ben. As long as they're winters should be fine though

Sorry i'm going to puke. Perhaps do modify them after winter and who knows what they'll look like then.

maybe colour coding and and low pro's would probably be the best bet.
they could look gud but at the mo, they arent really floatin my boat....
sorry

a little too retro for a newer car in my opinion, but none the less its a look never done before!!

i see alot of people going on about this 'winter look' thing. what is it? do normal alloys get ruined in the winter or something? please xplain!
thankz

Those of us who run nice shiny alloys in the summer, especially split rims, polished rims, and lacquered rims remove our lovely sparkly wheels and get a set of easy to maintain, lower end wheels to pass the winter months by so the salt and all the road grime doesnt ruin our shiny alloys causing aggravation and bother when it comes to the summer again

So far ive had 3 sets of winter wheels this year
