New wheels? 13's?

Right, after being at Edition 38 today and seeing so many mark 4's on 13's and how low they was made me want to go lower, ha. I'm rubbing on eveything that moves at the minute.. so i think its in order to buy some bada$$ 13's and drop the coilovers all the way down.

Anyone know of any decent 13's within a range of Â£400?

Cups will be up for sale if this goes ahead.

I'd let them go for Â£400 with tyres. Tho i've checked ebay. I still work out cheaper. Except a set painted black. With no tyres. ha.

Tho i'm getting fond of Teledials, but eveyone seems to have them. If anyone has Â£150 theres a orange set of Renault Turbines on ebay! Lol Their porn!

Wellers are definitely the way forward.

But don't think getting 13"ers and a lower stance will solve your rubbing issues. it will turn from rubbing to scraping. It may solve your under arch issues, but the sump/exhaust/ARB/anything that sticks out, will take an absolute battering. I've seen polos see-saw on speed bumps whilst rocking a 13" low stance.

Tim, you seem to know me to well. Lol. I love the low stance look. Tho it may not be that good an idea.

shame you couldn't make E38, would have been good to meet you.

Yeh same mate, I'm gunna try n get myself to the polo show, but it's a bit tight.

13"s do look sick on 6Ns, they seem to be quite a trend at the moment. But just keep in mind they (along with the lower stance) will probably be more of a headache than 15s!

I agree. I'm at a point where my rears just rub, and the plastic arching sections are different in the rear arch to the front. The fronts i can trim.. but i dont think (even with trimming) would stop rubbing.

No worries

, they're definitely worth looking at. they make the Cups look soo much better IMO, they go well with the dish.

That set is Bridgestone.
